Reviews
Thanks for the memories!
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
