A goofy, good-natured prank comedy that coasts on silly slapstick and the charm of its veteran cast, easy to watch with family.

Tagline: Old school vs new cool.

How it feels: Light, warm, whimsical and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, friendship, grief, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
