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

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

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

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