About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, nostalgia-heavy teen sci-fi comedy with rogue machines and party-night chaos, in the vein of Black Friday; Not for you if you want real scares, deep characters, or consistent humor.

Pros: strong late-90s nostalgia; creative killer gadgets; occasional big laughs | Cons: uneven tone; thin characters; hit-or-miss humor
