Really Surprised!
One of my all time favorites.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
