thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 28, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Feb 19, 2020 I think Smother is hilarious, and fun, all the characters are really good. Diane Keaton & Dax Shepard are excellent, If you like good comedy, see this movie! See more Jan 14, 2016 Terribly Irritating movie! Good interpretation of Diane Keaton.
