Reception

The New York Times called the film a "painful hodge podge".[4]

gollark: I apparently have to pick a course within a few months before applying to university, and because the English system is so perfect and without flaw™ cannot really do the American thing of studying multiple things and specializing later. Fun!
gollark: Do related things and pick later?
gollark: As you can see, they're very pingy.
gollark: I have no idea what the spikes are, saturated network somewhere or something?
gollark: This is what my ping times look like.
