What we thought: The Gray Guy is not the sort of film that you need to see in theaters. (The Russos concur.) It’s the sort of motion picture you can throw on while you’re doing meals or fiddling on your phone. In bursts, it’s entertaining. Overall, it’s tedious, doing not have any psychological wallop, constant wit, or the kind of vigor that may really make even its taken bits sting.– Kristy Puchko, Deputy Home Entertainment Editor
