I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
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.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
