Drop-dead gorgeous, with some interesting world-building. Though, the narrative has several clichés, and the sequel-teasing ending kind of makes the events of the film feel just like a stepping stone to the next one.

I still laughed like a goddamn maniac for two hours straight.
Best comedian working today, bar none.
