A cleverly written and funny script with a cute story really got me hooked in the first half of this movie
Then the movie really becomes something else…which I appreciate, but ultimately it’s not what I expected it to be, or to be honest, I really didn’t want it to be. The pacing definitely slowed down a little too long and I felt like the movie lost a bit of its momentum.
Only her alone I recommend to see it!
The very last scene is exactly what I wanted to happen between the two characters, but the other main character was completely trashed, and I wish it hadn’t been. But Mikey Madison’s performance was one of the most compelling and entertaining I’ve seen in a long time.
