Would love to have a true movie ending, but they left us hanging.

In short, it’s up to Curtis to rescue the film. She’s meant to be the villain, but her lines, even the motley ones (“The stars aligned, we slayed the dragon, and we won”), are delivered with such a delectable thwack that I kept forgetting to boo.

This talky, ham-fisted effort proves particularly disappointing because it should have been much better than it is.
