I didn't love this which is unfortunate.
As an homage it didn't feel like it had much of an identity of it's own. It pulled some of the best hits and tropes of the genre, but didn't do much with them.

The Holdovers 2023
This is one of those movies that scratches my brain in all the right ways. The perfect mix of wholesome and Melodrama. I won’t lie, I was able to guess what exactly what was going to happen as the movie went on, but that’s what movies like this are meant to do.
They pull you in with the familiar and it’s entirely up to the actors and the cinematography to sell a story that’s been told dozens of times. This accomplished that times over.
