A fun plot delivered excellently through the great chemistry between Awkwafina and Oh. A gameshow-obsessed recluse is forced out into the world by her well-intentioned estranged sister, as they look to cover debts left to them by their mother.
The recognisable comedic style allows Awkwafina to lean into her usual character type, but in a believable manner, and Oh to showcase her talents in comedy. It is also very refreshing to see Ferrell in a relatively nurturing role, remaining funny but without resorting to being explicitly daft.
It is silly humour, but engaging, with a heartwarming theme of sisterly love underlying the arc of an odd-couple's approach to life.
