Epic! What a funny little comedy, very good acting and story!... full review

Very much enjoyed it. Fast, dense, informative, funny, a lot going on. I love the classics, and reinterpreting them and modernizing them to be palatable to modern audiences in a casual setting is something I can get behind. A big ambitious project done well.... full review
