What Reelgood users are saying

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.
