cleverly plays with movie conventions and the audience's expectations so that we're kept constantly guessing."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson

"Ironically, the predictability is actually one of the film's virtues."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
4/5
"O que há de mais interessante neste filme (e o que o torna tão divertido) é o fato dele ser capaz de criticar e, ao mesmo tempo, seguir todas as regras básicas do gênero."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4/5

eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
