Andrew returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral, a journey that reconnects him with old friends. The trip coincides with his decision to stop taking his powerful antidepressants.

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

  • Joyce Caldwell
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

  • Santino Lamb
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
