Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
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.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
