Charming characters, great acting but will leave you feeling exhausted

Charming but clichéd characters. Contains great acting and comedic timing but watching the film was exhausting because of the editing.

I don't know if the movie itself-acting like a child on a sugar rush-was meant by the filmmakers. Probably because they want the movie to be like the lead character ( always anxious and panicky). I stopped watching in the mid of the car chase scene. I had to take a break and on the next day I finished the movie from where I stopped.

The best part of the film though is the American cab driver that adopted a British accent because of all the BBC shows he watches. And Bones (the biker dude on the movie poster) laughably trying to remember where he might have met the Pastor's wife before ( the reveal is funny but proved helpful for the Pastor's wife to be closer with her daughter). Probably two of the only clever parts of the film.

I also hate the ending where everyone went dancing because everything went okay at the end. So corny beyond all reason. Though, I do love Heaton's dancing.
