Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
