Feels like it was ripped from the past and updated with a modern feminist twist. A raucous, R-rated comedy.

Rated: 2.5/4

Generally solid, buddy movie that's entertaining enough. Keke and SZA make for a compatible team that plays well off of one another. The level of comedy varies throughout the film, but its still appealing and has enough players for story expansion.

Rated: B

Most of [the slapstick sequences] are wearisomely heavy-handed or gross-out schticks in the contemporary comedy manner. But this modest movie... is endearing anyway, because it’s an old-school buddy comedy, and a portrait of a community.
