My review · Reviewed 05/02/2025

While this movie isn't going to win any awards, it is a surprisingly good buddy road trip comedy. I thought that it did a good job of showing how we shouldn't be so quick to judge and that - if we keep an open heart - life might surprise us sometimes. And of course, it doesn't hurt to have Christopher Walken playing Christopher Walken.
