This film will do nothing to displease the ever-growing legion of Sandra Bullock fans. It will, at the same time, add to the public recognition of Leary. It will, however, make no waves. It's merely a pleasant-enough time-waster. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 11/10/2021

It's disappointing to see Bullock reduced to rolling her eyes, putting her hand up and saying 'Talk to the hand' like a guest on Ricki Lake. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Blu B @RT43513976 Oct 15 Bad heist movie, bad romcom, bad movie in general. Leary & Bullock don't really have any chemistry at all but the meandering subpar dialouge weighs it down even further. Kotto is great and the only good thing in the entire film. I got 2 laughs in the entire thing. Everything else is flat at best. the acting in general is terrible. The editing and pacing is terrible as well. This is trying to be a romcom with two actors who have no chemistry at all and a heist movie that is completely jumbled and unfocused. The whole sideplot with the kid and Leary is completely pointless and none of it ties together at all well. Honestly everything in the middle of this film in general becomes completely incoherent. It's not clear how any of it really fits together. The music is boring generic stuff. The cinematography isn't good either. It reminds me of something like Funny Farm visually or a Hallmark movie. It looks pretty at times, but the direction in general is pretty basic, the setting isn't that memorable, and the scenes themselves just aren't that funny, interesting or charming. Skip this.

While they were running away, they mingled with the people of the village, but someone followed them. this movie can show that things start to change even unexpectedly. The director directed the movie very well and it became a movie that understood the hearts of the audience.
