Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
