ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
