    Well, it's amateur hour at the Amazon Prime studios and I'm sharpening my knife here. Yes, for the price of an hour and forty of your life and a Prime account, you too can watch one of the worst films of 2023. On a Wing and a Prayer tells (poorly) the true story of a man…

    "This is, like, so bad." I can't believe I'm saying this, but.... MGM should've paid up for Mel Gibson. 🍫1/2 1.5 outta 5 candy bars with clearly printed, FDA compliant allergen labels
