The Lead Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
