About
If you enjoy cheeky coming-of-age stories with a modern attitude in a historical setting, this is a fun pick; Not for you if you want strict realism, subtle humor, or a serious tone like Polite Society.
Pros: witty, offbeat humor; strong lead performance; lively medieval vibe | Cons: shallow, familiar story; modern music distracts; some dialogue feels cringe
