User Reviews

What a waste of a lazy Sunday

The only things I liked about this movie was the 80's music, and seeing a lot of Noah Centineo without a shirt 💦👙(this is the emoji closest to panties 😆😉) The plot is horrible, and the acting is awkward. The IMDb rules says I have to write 5 lines in this review. You should not waste your precious lazy Sundays on this. I'm just using space now. Lol.
