Reviews (1)
Such a fairly pleasant comedy, which has the main advantage of having interesting actors. Unfortunately, the film is quite predictable and it doesn't manage to really criticize harshly or truly entertain. It's kind of restrained, as if the film didn't really want to offend anyone, but could have done so nicely.
