Just pure, unadulterated fun. Assembling such a star-studded cast and having them click this well is a real achievement. The jokes come thick and fast, too. Good stuff!
Nia
Good friends are those you can not see for a long time, but when you meet, it's as if you only said goodbye yesterday. You can still do stupid things with ease and without any gap. The preaching of marital secrets near the end affected the integrity, like a tasteless and artificially added element. I also played that arrow shooting game when I was a kid, but we threw small stones into the sky.

A bean friend said, "Ever since Twitter became popular, it's become a trend to live life as a series of jokes." But, I don't see anything wrong with that.
