It is a performances centric movie

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
