Ali
Ray

The last 2 are a little heavy but the acting/story is so good it makes me smile.
13407896, I always felt Debo was so menacing lol
Posted by Bambino Grande, Mon Oct-12-20 01:21 PM

it kinda ruined the lightheartedness of the movie in a way

Like the way they're all so shook at the end and the fight is about to get really dark, haha. Too real

I wish Meagan good was in Friday 2, she’d kill
