Thoughts
This is objectively not a good movie - the premise is weak and there are plot holes you can drive an elephant through - but it was absolutely perfect for entertainment on a super tired evening. Really it was held together by Anne and Kate, who do the best they can with the script they’re given, and actually make it pretty moving by the end. Entertaining but absolutely not one to be recommended.
