About
If you want a warm, laugh-heavy behind-the-scenes story about making something wildly off the rails, this delivers; Not for you if you dislike cringe humor or haven’t got room for movies like Dolemite Is My Name or The Hoax.
Pros: hilarious cringe moments; heartfelt friendship story; strong lead performances | Cons: may feel too long; some jokes miss; pacing slows for some
