Rewatched this after the initial theatrical run and it holds up even better on a second viewing. Details in the background that I missed the first time around add so much to the world-building. The lead pair have genuine chemistry, which honestly saves a script that's fairly thin on plot. Comedy track involving the extended family is hit or miss — mostly hit, occasionally overstretched. Cinematography leans heavily on wide establishing shots that slow the pace but look gorgeous. By the end I wasn't thinking about the plot holes anymore, just enjoying the ride. Not a perfect film but a genuinely fun one.

Underrated performance from the supporting cast here.
The runtime is the only real complaint I have.
Some of the VFX was rough but the story carried it.
