If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
