  • Jackson Butler
    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
    Rating: 3.5

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

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
