one of my absolute favorites!
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
