About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for chaotic, cringe-prone, over-the-top comedy and can roll with escalating mishaps, like Date Night; Not for you if you prefer subtle humor or grounded, believable situations.
Pros: big, farcical laughs; strong lead chemistry; some surprising heart | Cons: wildly over-the-top; uneven, drawn-out setup; humor can feel painful
