TL;DR: Sometimes it’s fine to just enjoy yourself at the theater. Cast aside your obsessions and go have a laugh with this gentle, good natured movie.

How to tell if you’re in a video game: Look down at the clothes you’re wearing. If you’re female and you’re wearing a bikini into battle or armor designed to enhance your figure rather than save your life, you are probably in a video game.

So yes, this is not a highly original script and you’re never confused by where it’s going, but it is also a funny movie with good acting and some great punchlines.
And sometimes that’s all you need.
