Ratings & Reviews
The Reelgood Score is a comprehensive weighted index designed to evaluate movie & TV quality, deriving its value from a blend of Reelgood user engagement, external ratings metrics expressed through content popularity, and user feedback, including ratings such as "loved," "liked," and "disliked." The score is presented on a scale from 1 to 100, where 100 signifies content that is highly esteemed and positively rated within the community.
The movie features reliable performances, particularly from Matt Damon, and has lovely music. However, it suffers from an overly cheesy script that detracts from its charm, making some moments feel forced.
I really wanted to like this more, but it just seemed a bit too forced. Matt Damon is reliable as ever, the music is lovely, and there are a few endearing moments, but the script leans so hard into being over the top cheesy that it kind of breaks the charm. At one point, the movie pans to a monkey slapping its own forehead and I believe that pretty well sums up this film.
