What the critics say

Critics agree the film means well and the leads carry it, but most call the writing lazy, the humor outdated or regressive, and the back half slow, melodramatic and repetitive.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 8 readings; 6 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
