I love David Allen Grier and Justice Smith and I love their chemistry. This movie did get slow at times, but it did bring things to my attention that I had been previously unaware of. I had such little understanding of what black peoples lives were like on a daily basis and how much discrimination they have to deal with. BLM opened my eyes to a lot and this movie helps further that. I'm baffled by the copious amounts of bad reviews. I wouldn't watch this again, but I'm glad I did once. Things have to change and even though this movie didn't get a great reception it's an important step forward. Keep talking about uncomfortable things, because that's the only way things will change.

Give it a fair chance
Trainwreck Alert
The movie starts off with an interesting idea, hinting at a break from the usual and regular storylines. Yet, it makes you think: are we just going in circles, fixing old mistakes only to make new ones? This theme suggests a deeper exploration, but the film doesn't quite deliver.
Despite the promising start, the movie falls short. It relies too heavily on clichés and doesn't develop its characters well. The focus on a magical team feels like a missed opportunity for more meaningful storytelling. Instead, it drifts into familiar territory, resembling the melodrama of daytime TV.
However, the movie manages to redeem itself with a surprising small twist at the end. It catches you off guard and adds a touch of humor to an otherwise mediocre story. This comedic turn provides a welcome break from the predictability and leaves a lasting impression.
