Feels too much like a bad play put on by a bunch of kids out of school who can't get real work yet. The poster drew me in to watch and it might be the best thing about the film.

Similar films: Oppenheimer 😀
I didn’t like that overused scenes with “double meanings”, I mean this whole movie is a double meaning, but it still annoyed me.

Also, this story:”Ms.Monroe, can you answer my question?”
