Reviews

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

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
