A review by Gimly

6.0

Written by Gimly on April 4, 2017

A tonally loyal adaptation of the 60's TV show. Some nonsensical moments and lacklustre scenes but Huston and Julia steal the thing with such fervour you can't help but enjoy yourself at least a little.

Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go.
