Imagine, if you will, a movie which wants to have a strong anti-bullying message. A movie that wants to argue that bullying is awful and devastates the people who find themselves on the receiving end. Now imagine that the same film starts off by attempting to, without any sense of irony, get the audience to laugh as someone finds themselves bullied to nearly Carrie-esque proportions. It doesn't make much sense, does it?
Such is the position in which Central Intelligence finds itself. The movie opens in 1996, with an overweight senior, Robbie Weirdicht, taking a shower in the locker room as an assembly takes place out in the gym. The naked senior is physically carried out into the gym and slid along the floor for the whole school to see. Even the principal watches but does nothing. It is a scene played for laughs and, when the film jumps 20 years forward we learn that the bullied geek has changed his name to Bob Stone and gone from being overweight to a relatively chiseled example of the human form (he is, after all, played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson).
