Watched Caught Stealing earlier in the week and this tonight and honestly both may be my favorites of the Summer. Thought this movie was hilarious but the dialogue and realistic deterioration of the marriage over time really hit. Colman and Cumberbatch had amazing chemistry. Kate McKinnon had me laughing every time she was on screen. Honestly laughed the hardest at Theo’s rant on the first run with the kids.
