🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Angelou on Burns is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1996. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
