About
You’ll likely enjoy Chuck & Buck if you like uncomfortable, edgy character-driven dramas with dark humor and lingering tension; Not for you if you want a straightforward rom-com, clear wholesomeness, or lighthearted stalking energy like The Opposite of Sex or May.
Pros: disturbing black comedy feel; memorable performances; interesting premise | Cons: unsettling stalking elements; mixed sense of humor; credibility concerns
