  • The father plot is criticized as underdeveloped and potentially better with a wider casting search. — Glen Powell
  • Another participant says the film has no clear weak link but agrees the father material is least convincing. — Glen Powell
  • The friend is called one-dimensional, though deleted scenes may have shown him trying to help Truman. — Glen Powell
