About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a feel-good, tear-and-laugh comedy-drama about acceptance and second chances; Not for you if you dislike very predictable, soft-edged stories or want sharper, edgier humor like Snatch.
Pros: heartwarming message; funny drag banter; strong performances | Cons: predictable story beats; overly sweet tone; uneven pacing
