Below is another part of the interview where Johnson eats candy for the first time since 1989. He said that the last candy he had was Twizzlers at a movie theater.

- Speaking of Johnson, he has been getting rave reviews for his performance in Central Intelligence. As for the movie itself, it's performing fairly well with critics, garnering a 61% (fresh) on movie aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Of the 66 reviews counted as of this writing, 40 have been positive while 26 have been negative. All the reviews that I have read have praised Johnson's performance. The critics consensus from Rotten Tomatoes reads:

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson make for well-matched comic foils, but Central Intelligence is a little too aimless and inconsistent to take sufficient advantage of their gifts.

- Deadline reports that Central Intelligence, which was produced on a $50 million budget, is estimated to earn at least $30 million this weekend. It is expected to take the #2 spot at the box office behind Finding Dory, which is expected to have the second best debut this summer after the $171.9 million opening for Captain America: Civil War.
