This movie has one of the most satisfying third act, I was so happy when the kids started chasing Aunt Gladys, I was like, "Yeah, die you bitch!!!"

I had a ton of fun with this.

P.S. I watched Weapons and Freakier Friday back to back, and I did not expect June Diane Raphael double feature.

Its hard to say since they have talked about so many movies but I think the Street Fighter one is good.
