Excellent, a Must See
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
