Reviews
I love this movie so much
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
