‘Back in Action’ Review: Cameron Diaz Deserves a Better Comeback Than This Netflix Action-Comedy

I’m a self-proclaimed Cameron Diaz diehard. In addition to watching The Holiday every year, wishing I could be one of Charlie’s Angels, and firmly believing that My Best Friend’s Wedding has one of the best openings of all time (I hope I got “Wishin’ and Hopin’” stuck in your head), I also think Bad Teacher and The Other Woman are both criminally underrated comedic gems, am a staunch defender of 2014 Annie, and think they should make as many Shrek movies as they want, thank you very much. Needless to say, I was pumped when I found out she was coming out of retirement after over a decade. I’m still excited that she’s back in action (pun definitely intended), but man, I wish she had returned in a better film.
