Basically one of those "one night where everything goes wrong" adventure movies. Stretch limo driver is down on his luck, picks up a rich client hoping for an easy fare and it ends up being a wild night.
I've watched it twice now and it's just fun.
Great cast too, plenty of small parts for Ed Helms, Ray Liotta, Jessica Alba and a fantastic Chris Pine.
Yeah, I saw this on Netflix a few weeks back and had a great time. It's also cheap, absurd, and wildly, pointlessly offensive. I've hesitated to recommend it to most of my friends for reasons I'm sure shiz's wife could elucidate. Worse yet, it takes little imagination to picture a better film with the same premise and plot points. Part of me feels like I actually saw that better film on cable in the mid-nineties.
That said: Yes. Stretch is just fun.
Its ideal audience is somebody who is kind of embarrassed about having enjoyed The Hangover 2. Your mileage may vary.
