Reviews
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
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.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
