Abbott and Costello. Laurel and Hardy. Wilder and Pryor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reynolds and Jackman?<\/p>\n

The stars of “Deadpool & Wolverine” debut as co-headliners is as funny as any modern comedy.<\/p>\n

Maybe funnier.<\/p>\n

Want a rich story that won’t insult your intelligence? Sorry, Bub. This is all about the meta winks, fan service and grossout humor.<\/p>\n

All of the above is so lovingly crafted that you’ll barely notice the slipshod story and bald exposition.<\/p>\n

OK, maybe a little.<\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool is growing up, at least by his standards. He longs to reconnect with his old flame Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), but she wants him to be something more than a “Merc with a Mouth.”<\/p>\n

She needs … a hero.<\/p>\n

He gets that chance when he meets Mr. Paradox (“Succession’s” Matthew Macfayden), an unctuous type who oversees the Time Variance Authority. And he has some terrible news.<\/p>\n

The world’s current timeline is marked for extinction, and it can only be saved by the one person who embodies its mercurial balance.<\/p>\n

That’s Logan AKA the Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Who, as we all learned in “Logan,” is dead.<\/p>\n

Confused? Yeah, this story’s a mess even by comic book film standards. And it gets sloppier from here. That may chase some away, but the value of a good “Deadpool” saga is in the jokes, the meta moments and Reynolds’ irrepressible wit.<\/p>\n

Reynolds snags a Wolverine from one of many multiverses (yes, THAT again) and they end up in The Void, a place where the screenwriters can conjure anything to make the Comic-Con crowd go wild.<\/p>\n

And boy, do they do just that.<\/p>\n

Now, they’ll have to defeat Cassandra (Emma Corrin, very effective), the superpowerful woman running The Void to save the universe.<\/p>\n

Just recapping the basic plot beats is enough to make one’s teeth ache. It’s silly and beneath a multi-gazillion dollar franchise.<\/p>\n

Really. C’mon, team. Do better.<\/p>\n
