Reviews
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
