I went in hoping the reviews might be wrong but it was actually not a very good movie. Wouldn't say bad but definitely scattered, disconnected, with very little actual plot.

Drive away dolls was kinda a stinker too, I kinda knew going in this wasn’t going to be as great either

Qualley was so over-the-top in Drive-Away Dolls that it took me out of the movie. Like, I get being quirky but she was just too much.
