It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
