This is on Peacock.
This was pretty good and a lot better than what I expected and funny and heartwarming at the same time.
The music was surprisingly reallty good too.

Is this not going to the theaters? I saw the preview for it a couple times in the past year.

I watched this tonight on Peacock. I thought it was good not great. A little bit slow at times, but I think it could grow on me on subsequent viewings.
