  ★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Silly, slightly clunky, fun for 90 minutes or so. Unfortunately that leaves another 45 minutes where the clunkiness overwhelms everything else.

  Now I realise Richard Linklater got two whole movies out of the last 20 minutes or so of this.

  Its six stories were all pretty good, and it looked great.

  Excellent review Phil, you're a real Barry Normans.
