Moral of the story its okay to be racist when youre sad and edgy

מעבר לכך שהסרט היה קצת סימפטי מדי לטעמי עם איך שהוא מציג את אניטה (אולי זה רק הפירוש שלי?)

אומיגאד ככ נהנתי!!!! סרט מקסים עם דמויות מקסימות ושירים מקסימים ומשפחה מקסימה ומבטא מקסים וגזענות 😞 אבל ממש ריגש אותי והצחיק אותי ואהבתי הכי בעולם

וכל המפגרים שיצאו באמצע הסרט לכו לכו עדיף בלעדיכם
