Missed this one on release so I figured I’d post it since it’s gotten good reviews.
Just finished it. I was NOT expecting the level of satire in this. I cracked up at all the ridiculousness of it all. Letting Hazel fight that boxer. The freakin sword! It was like a fever dream. And I love how they just never explain it. Everybody is nuts in the whole town.
Marshawn Lynch was a highlight. His speech after they got found out was gold. Also “The Holocaust, it happened”. Hazel was also great. She was a great 3rd to compliment the duo.
It was crazy seeing Ayo Edebiri in this after seeing her in The Bear. She looked so young here comparatively. I really found it to be a great satire on toxic masculinity as well. Shame Barbie is getting all the love instead of this. I might say Bottoms did it better for me.
Agree. I got a lot more than I was expecting. It deserves to be a bigger hit than it is, but I can’t say I’m surprised in the world we live in.
Yeah it’s so irritating when all my favorite movies just go by with no fanfare
