AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
