Moveable Fest

The go-for-broke attitude of the entire endeavor keeps an audience on its toes nonetheless, a necessity when keeping up with a madman like McInnes.

The Dissolve

The truth, unfortunately, is that the writing is flabby and tedious, and McInnes' delivery has little charisma or charm. The film is like being stuck in an elevator with a boorish drunk for an hour and a half.

Rated: 1/5

Started off good, but it turned out to be exaggerated and predictable. Alarms first went off at the extremely clichéd makeover-montage-while-the-other-person-sits-in-a-chair-in-the-middle-of-the-store-as-if-any-store-would-allow-that. Decent characters although a bit one-dimensional and cookie cutter. The dialogue would've been good if they only stopped at the point where it goes from 'witty and fresh' to 'nobody talks like that'. I had a couple of sincerely loud laughs, but by the end it felt like eating through a cardboard box just to get to the m&m's in the middle, and then having to eat through the rest of the cardboard box. Nice try and nice style, but it was very overcooked, the team has to find the right balance.
