“72 Hours” is a Netflix comedy in which Kevin Hart plays a middle-aged advertising executive who joins a younger man’s Miami bachelor party to understand Gen Z consumers, only for the trip to spiral into drug-fuelled chaos and conflict with a criminal. The review finds the film a weak, overly frantic imitation of “The Hangover”, arguing that its crime plot overwhelms the comedy rather than enhancing it.

Hart reunites with “Ride Along” director Tim Story, while the supporting cast includes Mason Gooding and “Saturday Night Live” performers Marcello Hernández, Ben Marshall and Kam Patterson. Joe’s attempt to seem relevant follows a rejected vodka campaign and a threatened promotion, but his cocaine-induced alter ego brings the group into danger; the critic says the film throws too many escalating events together without producing enough laughs.
