Adult Best Friends Reviews

This movie doesn’t take itself too seriously which is good but it goes too far past stupid for parts as well like the person they rent the house from or the poop on the shoe. There are times when you hate pretty much everyone but by the end it wins you over.

MAX was really insistent on me watching this and I unfortunately gave in…

3/5. Didn’t take itself too serious and it worked out

I was intrigued by the film's nostalgic trip to childhood haunts and the complexities of adult friendships. Directed by Delaney Buffett, this comedy film explores the ups and downs of growing up and moving on.
