Reviews
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.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
