thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 24, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jul 31, 2020 Pretty hilarious im surprised i just now heard of this movie. See more May 31, 2020 I was extremely disappointed in this film. I turned it off after 35 minutes. The idea for the story sounded really good; the story goes nowhere. The acting is dull and unconvincing. This could have been fun to watch, but wasn't. See more Mar 5, 2020 This movie sucked ass in comedy, just everything of its film was not even remotely funny. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. Do yourself a favor don't watch it okay. See more Jan 20, 2017 I have watched this movie over and over again and I never get tired of it! It is hilarious and has amazing characters See more Apr 20, 2016 Shockingly bad which warrants nothing to mention to recommend this See more Read all reviews
