2/4
Abrams and Piri have scant on-screen charisma. And, even if they did, their dialogue together is nothing more than foul-mouthed insults - unimaginative ones at that. Go to Full Review

2/5

George L Apr 20, 2019 Funny film & likable characters
Luke S Jan 2, 2019 As a dark comedy it tries really hard to be funny, but the writing and delivery just isn't there.
George S Dec 20, 2018 Saw it at Cinequest. Easily the best, funniest movie at the festival! Check it out if you like films like Bad Santa.
