Reviews

Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
