Audience Member With only a few moments that actually border on interesting, this was a strange combination of slapstick humor, love story, and an attempt to escape one's family history. Every time this film seemed promising, it reverted to something less than entertaining. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
