It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
