Purely Joyful Movie!
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
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.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
