Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Mathster The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
