Show more >> Drugstore June is a mixed bag that tries to juggle a crime mystery with a coming-of-age story. On one hand, the lead performance is charming, and her determination to solve the robbery is admirable. On the other hand, some plot points feel predictable, and the emotional depth could have been explored further.

If you’re looking for a light-hearted watch that touches on growing pains, you might enjoy it, but don’t expect a thriller. Show less
