Reviews
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
