What People Say

Cynthia Perez

I wanted to love this more than I did. Along those lines, the talent on display is competent, if unremarkable. It's okay for a lazy evening, just don't expect too much.

Pamela Wilson

I can see why opinions are divided. The lead does well, but the supporting cast feels underused.

Sean Edwards

Without question. Your mileage may vary on this one.
