MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "The Man From Toronto is the perfect example of an inoffensively generic weekend flick. Embrace the shamelessly nonsensical story. Try to enjoy the "dumb fun" moments spread throughout the entire runtime - it could have been shorter. Accept the hilariously bad visual effects. Finally, stay for Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson's typecast roles, who should be enough to entertain most viewers. It's (very) far from being a good movie, but if you're one of those viewers who can tolerate purposefully silly, unrealistic, illogical narratives for the sake of entertainment, this Netflix project passes the time."

There could be a decent concept in there with The Man from... men, but in reality... 'The Man from Toronto' is poor. I like both Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson, and they do make it more watchable than it would otherwise be, but even those two couldn't stop this from being an unfortunately dull watch for me. Nothing about this feels fresh, it came out in 2022 but could've easily come out in 2012. Hart's performance seems like something we've seen before, with it feeling - at least on the surface - the same as his roles in '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/central-intelligence/">Central Intelligence</a>' with Dwayne Johnson and in '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/ride-along/">Ride Along</a>' with Ice Cube. The plots are different, of course, but the vibe is pretty much the same. Hart should stick with films like '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-upside/">The Upside</a>' and '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/fatherhood-2021/">Fatherhood</a>', in my opinion. It's very forgettable. in short. It's not helped by an overlong run time, either.
