Cheslik and Tews execute each gag with great force and speed, stringing the scenes together into a coherent story with callbacks and forward momentum that intensifies as the movie barrels along.

5/5

Infinitely more impressive due to Cheslik and Tew’s understanding of the craft – including effective mise en scene, engaging story pacing, and brilliant joke-heightening.
