What to know

critics consensus

Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards. Read critic reviews

At the event, some crooks pull guns on the gangster, and Darrell steps in to save his life.
