RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
