Just isn’t fun enough.

Its resonances should—I’d say need to—ring some bells here in the ostensible land of the free.

Avoids clichés, turning the expected into the unexpected.

While Marsden remains one of our more underrated comic performers, this is Vaughn’s movie.

A movie that constantly surprises you by plucking chords of hope from a heartbreaking narrative.

Not all may be won over by the film’s aggressively campy tone, but this one is for those who like their sisterhood slashers dashed with sapphic yarning, divine femininity, and an exploration of how we’ll deny who we are just to feel a part of something larger than ourselves.

It’s just fine.
