There’s a lot going on in this one and none of it amusing to me. The references to “finger language” felt ignorant and offensive. As always, there’s a ton of coincidence, ridiculous events, Nancy magically knows how to do everything, and she saves the day. Something about this one just completely rubbed me wrong and I almost bailed on it.
