3.5 ⭐️= Quite Good
For me, there was quite a slow start but the pace soon quickened and it became much more enjoyable.
Very far fetched - so don’t take this one too seriously.
I think this would make an excellent comedy film.
I thought the ending was rather weak and the swearing was unnecessary and didn’t fit in with the vibe that the author was trying to achieve.Julie7 2026-02-09
