This Town Audience Reviews

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
