Reviews
This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
