Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
