Reviews:

  • Eleanor Trujillo
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

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

  • Yusuf Castro
    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

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

  • Marisol Curry
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.
