What critics compared Buddy Buddy to
Tarantino’s own go-to example tends to be Billy Wilder, who wound down his career with less than fondly remembered efforts like Fedora and Buddy Buddy .
Thanks to a game cast and that fine premise, the film’s tame gags and misfired comedy play as if it were … well, a minor Billy Wilder comedy, say “Buddy Buddy.”
