About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, amusing dramedy about misfits chasing a dream on the road, in the vein of Every Which Way but Loose; Not for you if you need big action, sharp edge, or nonstop laughs.
Pros: likable low-key humor; warm redemption theme; strong ensemble energy | Cons: modest stakes; uneven goofiness; leisurely pacing
