7/10
A cute and fun true story film.
18 June 2022
It's nothing revolutionary as a film, nor will it win any awards, but I'm sure you'll remember the story, as its real-life events are amazing and unique. But even at only 96 min runtime, it felt too bloated with cliched filler, and the substance stretched out to the max. It'll be the casting and performances that hold your attention, especially Cranston and Wilson. I found Bening's character to be too aloof and cliched. The filmmakers should've cut this one down to a max 60 min TV-length movie, because even with the great casting, many of the scenes felt dragged out to the point you could fast-forward, and not miss a thing. The ending credits where they show photos of the real Selbee's was a nice touch. It's a fun one time watch, and a 7/10 from me.
