The pair portray noted romance novelist Loretta Sage and her steamy cover model Alan as her franchise’s Fabio-inspired champion, Dash.
In a slapdash comedy filled with big punchlines - and even bigger explosions - they’ve assembled a couple of the best comedic personalities available in Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.
