“I’ve seen bigger.”
I can’t recall another movie made by one of the major studios that jumped through so many hurdles in order to drag itself out to feature-length. Netflix lists the runtime for this movie as 83 minutes; without credits, it is 73.

Every emotion is BIG, every interaction devoid of nuance. They tackle racism, abortion, philosophical questions on motherhood, probably ten other hot issues I'm not recalling, and not a single…
