About
You’ll like this if you want a wildly entertaining love story with big feelings and outrageous cons; Not for you if you can’t handle crude, stereotype-driven comedy or prefer consistent tone, like Bad Santa or Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Pros: roller-coaster mix; standout lead performances; bold feelgood humor | Cons: offensive at times; uneven tone; criticized stereotype reliance
