Although McHale’s pro-"Showgirls" theories are interesting to listen to, there’s a smoke-and-mirrors quality to them.

The final 30 minutes of this would-be Hitchcockian caper film prove unable to deliver on the promise of the early acts.

Not a bad high-concept thriller but, as is often the case with movies hampered by undercooked storylines, something better could have resulted from the same basic plot points.

For the first two-thirds, it's an effecting and effective tale of female bonding; however, toward the end, melodramatic contrivances result in an unlikely climax and unsatisfying denouement.

Run Time: 1:50

An individual’s appreciation may rest on a previous love of the stage play; others are more likely to throw up a hairball than purr in contentment.

Feels a little too much like a money grab and, although moderately entertaining on a popcorn level, there’s a sense of missed opportunity.

Falls afoul of tonal inconsistencies which can be especially detrimental in a story with its roots so deeply embedded in an abhorrent historical episode.

If you liked "Zombieland," you’ll probably like "Zombieland: Double Tap," just not as much.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Sci-Fi/Action

Can’t make up its mind whether it wants to be a popcorn thriller or something with an existential bent, and isn't fully satisfying as either.
