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

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

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.
