Reviews (1)
A quite pleasant comedy, which primarily has the major advantage of having interesting actors. Unfortunately, the film is quite predictable, and it somehow fails to truly harshly criticize or genuinely entertain. It's so restrained as if the film doesn't really want to offend anyone, even though it could.
