The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
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.
