Reviews
Am I Missing Something?
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
