About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, messy one-night comedy that turns into a frantic mystery, with an ’80s-into-’90s vibe like Blind Date or License to Drive; Not for you if sleazy behavior or implausible chaos bothers you.
Pros: wild one-night momentum; mix of comedy and danger; memorable side characters | Cons: dated and creepy setup; unlikeable leads for some; plot stretches believability
