Thoughts

This was a lot of fun. I thought it was going to be a generic comedy, but it was quirkier than that. Weird and mostly unlikable characters, but plenty of fun and jokes and good tunes. In reality though, it was Nick Jonas who stole the show, with just one line that I'm still laughing about now. Cute ending, fun film, and Nick Jonas, what more could you ask for?

Rating: 5 / 5
