Wild target

It’s a sunny, vaguely likeable and low-key affair, with much of the humour unsurprisingly coming from cheap, risqué jokes and from making light of violent situations. If presented carefully, sinful content in films can sometimes help to frame a larger moral truth; that is sadly not the case here though, and it seems irresponsible of the filmmakers for example to cast Rupert Grint, something of a role model for many fans of his work in the Harry Potter films, as a character who goes unchallenged for smoking marijuana. Especially for a film aimed at young audiences, the line between right and wrong is disturbingly blurred.
