Reception
Variety called the film "an energetic, highly likable comedy".[1]
gollark: The government doesn't exist in a vacuum. They're influenced by people too. I think whatever stuff is broken in America is broken for complex reasons you can't just blame on "not enough government" or "too much government".
gollark: As any political physicist knows, if an ancap and komrad kit, an authleft, meet, they will mutually annihilate and release vast amounts of energy.
gollark: oh no. this cannot end well.
gollark: ?????
gollark: Or non-suspicious ones, even, because humans are uncool and mortal.
