It's so sweet and the soundtrack is bumpin'.

A lightweight comedy that frustrates because there’s the potential for it to be great, to resonate beyond its blandly formulaic charms. The characters are all over the place, the jokes rarely land, and there’s no sense of place.

This comedy is a perfectly fine film to watch if you want a little diversion or a lighthearted way to celebrate Juneteenth. Overall, the cast is competent...

Rated: 3/5

They never really got to partying in the block party. It was one issue or negativity after another. I was hoping for a feel good movie.
