Was it the best movie you will ever see? Probably not, but it's a fun packed family movie for everyone to enjoy. I personally couldn't watch this for multiple watches. As the movie is pretty much just an extended episode of Practical jokers so once you had seen it once it's practically pointless. Will likely connect to the fans of the series franchise and those absolutely desperate for isolation entertainment. 

That being said Do I believe it will generate new fans to the show from this movie? 
Probably won't win new fans, but it might entertain the loyal fans that have been following the series since the beginning. As they would be used to the craziness and the excitement from the group of friends have to offer. Being as it's a movie there's a lot of entertainment sections with acting elements, I immediately liked all the guys and these something utterly satisfying and entertaining about watching grown men act child-like, goofing around and just have the attitude of carefree. 
  
     

I could see how people could feel this movie felt repeated material. They didn't trust their own funny ability and use new jokes instead they relied on reliable jokes that worked for the show. That's not saying it was not satisfying to watch but it felt lackluster at times, what I mean by that is there's a scene specifically the interview at the Atlanta hawks I am 99.9% certain they had done this multiple times before. Don't get me wrong it was really funny, I just felt utilising a big global brand like Atlanta hawks would had been huge to try a new thing that hadn't been done before.
