The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
