The video is mostly clear. The sound is a bit fuzzy, but certainly passable.
Plot Summary
A repressed young woman decides to embrace her freedom for a change, but a series of coincidences entangles her in a murder mystery.
Star Power C+
Angel and King are charming and their comic delivery is smooth and well-timed. Yet their performances are not overly memorable. Bevans plays a wily criminal informant with more originality.
Chill Factor B-
Your date will be amused by the comical capers and the quick pace. The romance is cute but a little trite, and there is not enough atmosphere to fully start a smoldering chemistry.
Mental Health Check B+
Despite the murder, the tone remains light. The police are notably reckless with their gunfire, and the gender norms are clearly out of date. The script insists that a woman's happiness rests on being pretty. However, the film will help you relax.
Overall Grade B-
People watch comedy films for quick laughs, and this movie provides them. The plot is silly but endearing. The characters are rather one-dimensional and the romance doesn't develop any complexity. Still, everything moves fast enough to keep the viewer guessing and chuckling.
