Rating: ★★½
A reasonable ending, but not really as funny as it should have been. Where did the funny go? Might have been better in a theater…
I started this a few weeks back and watched the first half.
Some of the “magic” was gone when I discovered 3/4ths of the way through that the Russian sexually ambiguous lothario (he/him) was the same actor who played Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey.
Jaja Ding Dong!
