Reviews
Good concept, poorly executed.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
