Liked

  • There’s a very subtle, but hilarious sense of humor sewn into the story. The jokes are very much visual and situational, making them that much funnier to me.

  • Beneath the jokes and convoluted cons playing out on screen, there’s a fairly touching story about finding happiness and figuring out who you are. The love story helps that get across well.

  • The entire cast is on point! Great performances from everyone involved.

  • The same goes to the slick camera work and editing. It’s a very stylistic movie.

Didn't Like

  • As far as the plot goes, it’s not that memorable. It blends in with all the other countless con movies out there. If it weren’t for the comedy and love story, there wouldn’t be much to get out of it.
