Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
