I was looking forward to this film when it was available for free.
This movie was Really Good.
Pros: I like the chemistry between Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in this one. The story had wonderful pieces of old-school Ron-com with charm and simple to follow. Jim Rash were the star with his comedic delivery. It took his time getting to the moment where they go to the moon and the film is worth the wait to watch on Apple TV+ for free.
Cons: Woody Harrelson didn’t do it for me as Moe Berkus. The film does go on for too long and most of the recreate in here at times didn’t feel happier.
