| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2020

It's too much. It's cringeworthy. It's profoundly hammy. But a smarter film could have hidden it better.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 27, 2020

[Pegg and Temple are] good enough to make you want to care, even when their characters don't seem to be worth caring about.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 13, 2020
