Reviews:

  • Emery McClure
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

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

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.

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