Didn’t expect ants to be invited over during my hiatus! So let’s make this quick!


This was a lot of fun. Barrels of laughs with some genuine surprises throughout. Combined with the music/sound design, it felt like a tango back and forth between our 4 cast members.

Getting to the end unlocks a second watch. No spoilers, but I honestly want to watch it again to pick up on little nuances established at the start, prior to the couple’s meeting.

Imagine coming home from work to find your wife has invited the neighbors over. Which are very much not your typical neighbor… or are they 😀 :P.

7.5/10 solid good time with this one. Possibly a weak 8/10.


Stick around for The Odyssey – My joint contender for movie of the year thus far 😀
