What Works
- Solid entry in the comedy catalog
- Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
- A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative
What Doesn't
- Pacing issues in the second act hinder the momentum
- May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
