AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
