The CinePearl Take
Percy Hynes White delivers a surprisingly nuanced turn as the earnest yet clueless newcomer, grounding the film’s more outlandish moments. The pacing is brisk, with each con‑artist plot twist landing just before the laughs could grow stale. At its core, the movie is a love letter to community resilience, reminding us that even the smallest places can harbor grand ambitions.
