IR Film Review: MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE [20th Century Studios/Hulu]
The intention of high concept depends on the texture of camp and stakes that play into the function of the story. With "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice", the approach, especially with a time machine construct (listed right out front), panders a little bit to an overt level of silliness which is not helped by the ancillary characters. While the cast involved do their best and try to make the progression of culture relevant, the silliness outweighs the coolness despite some great moments (specifically with Vince Vaughn who plays the two Nicks).
