ThiefHott Too much of everything
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
