User Reviews

One time watchable but in my case I will definitely be revisiting this movie sometimes in the future again

The movie is clichéd but still enjoyable.

The performances were good and convincing.

It's the concept that amazed me and the little twists at the end were okay.

The comedy scenes mostly worked for me....there is no over the top comedy scenes in this movie but all the light ones are enjoyable and worth a chuckle The tense scene and the emotional scenes at the end worked for me as it really did bring out that tense and emotional vibe.

Bgm and songs used in the background is another positive factor about this movie as they were enjoyable.

Just felt that the concept could have been truly explored further...they just wrote something good and rather than further expanding it they just added clichés to it and completed the script.

But don't know why this movie was really enjoyable and made me smile and kinda feel good.

Throughout the movie.
