Clover is at its best when it leans into its more silly side, playing up the ludicrousness of many of its twists alongside a cast that’s not interested in winking at them or going for the easiest of laughs.

From the occasional flashy camera angles to a soundtrack peppered with deep-cut RB songs, this movie slots right into some well-worn grooves. And yet it mostly works, thanks to an ace cast and a story that springs a few surprises.

It never manages to overcome its air of overfamiliarity, straining mightily but giving off little but flop sweat.
