Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's so sweet and the soundtrack is bumpin'. Jun 8, 2022 Full Review Katie Walsh TheWrap 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. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media 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 Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
