    This movie is very pretty, functional, intellectual and well thought through.

    Amazing script. The best buddy comedy of this century. Both lead performances are amazing as well as the teenage side characters. The action is done hilariously and effectively. The growth of the dynamic between the two leads is something that feels natural in its beginning to end.
