Solid
31 January 2020 | by srgymrat33See all my reviews

Great character development ... solid life takeaways and you felt entertained the whole time . I was engaged and wanting to know where it was taking the plot .

The dynamic between the two main characters was believable and powerful. Bromance is such a great theme for any movie . I actually loved Selena Gomez in this . You left feeling good .

A bit too much crude humor but besides that a solid film .
