No masterpiece by any means but still a well made and entertaining movie.

I suppose I would like to know what "good" describes in a movie. Because if it's not a "really good" movie, but is entertaining, what's the purpose of a movie? Because isn't the purpose of a movie to entertain?

Some movies just entertain harder, bro.

Art doesn't have a singular purpose.
