I am unsure what film those who gave this a less than glowing review were watching.
Auteur, scriptwriter, and star Lorrisa Julianus, director, C. J. Julianus, and a stellar cast have created a fun, fast-paced, and well-crafted adventure story that also doesn't shy away from its more serious subplots. Ms. Julianus is blessed with precise comic timing, a deep understanding of art, and the physical presence to present herself as an object of desire, all without taking herself too seriously. Her co-star, Mickey O'Sullivan, also does a terrific job with his role as the leader of his failing church.
The script is literate and entertaining, and time spent with Ava, the charming protagonist of the piece, is time very well spent.
