The good thing about Good Newwz then is that it gives [Akshay] Kumar a much needed opportunity to shed the boring nobility, let his hair down and play a normal man next door, one who can be despicable and offensive but perhaps not irredeemably so.

Good Newwz works best when it is being its bawdy, silly, raucous self.

For Kumar, Kapoor Khan and some truly laugh-out-loud moments, Good Newwz is the lightness needed to round off the year.

A deeply classist 'comedy' in which Akshay Kumar gets stoned and makes fun of somebody's English.
