Steve D Not much reason to care about the main relationship. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Russ G Alternative title: "How to Win Back an Old Love by Being a Total Asshole!" This movie ostensibly has a "happy ending" but any sensible viewer knows that's not going to be the case. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews
