    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.

  • Ephraim Wells
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
