About

If you enjoy classic comedies built around awkward honesty and escalating misunderstandings, this is an easy watch, especially if you like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty; Not for you if dated stereotypes or forced farce wear thin.

Pros: clever truth-only premise; lively farce energy; strong classic-comedy cast | Cons: premise feels contrived; uneven laugh count; dated racial humor
