A review by Chandler Danier

Written by Chandler Danier on 2025-07-31

This movie is cute, sweet and warm. There is also a mid-run dance and musical number. I liked this better before we knew Chuck. Not that Chuck is a bad guy. I just liked it better.

I wanted something funny. This is smiley. I didn't want something so lacking in any excitement beyond its shiny exterior.

It looks good. It seems good. Whatever.
