Every piece of this movie is a stereotype.
The writing is terrible, the accents are god awful.
I'm only watching this in preparation for the next episode of How Did This Get Made?

Just a movie about two people that will occasionally make you laugh and sometimes make you groan, while not having the ability to help yourself thinking about taking both of them on in a threesome despite your status as a straight person.

I'm a large guy. I'm probably not AS large as Charlie. But I'm big enough that the difference is negligible because at some point you hit a weight where aspects of our story can be universal.
That being said, this was not a universal story of a big fat guy. This was overwrote with emotion. We don's sit around feeling sorry for ourselves at all times. We don't ALL stuff ourselves in a feverish attempt for suicide. We don't ALL sit around and do nothing and can't move on our own. It's bulls****. And while I understand that this is one story, when I heard about Brendan Frazier's performance, I was so ready to see this.
All things previously said, it doesn't mean that we don't have demons that we deal with. I had hoped/expected this movie to be a cathartic experience based on some pieces of truth to my life. But I couldn't find empathy for Charlie because he was a man that had just given up.
And the whole church kid angle was definitely weird and could have been done better. It's more than a bit stupid.

Decent romcom. I'm an Illiza fan, so I'm a little bias. I will say tho, the moral part of the story was a little shallow. It came across as "don't judge pretty people as vapid and disposable, they're actually human underneath, but if you meet a weirdo, they're probably a weirdo". Being that it's a movie about her life, the weirdo part is fine because it's part of her real story. But the schlocky scene where the two pretty blondes stop being fake to each other felt shoehorned in and counter to the main theme of the film.

Not much to it but the acting was phenominal and the direction was good.
I get all of the undertones that the film is presenting. It almost felt too obvious at times. I get that the acting is supposed to be great, even if I thought that Emma Stone was terrible playing the "child" version of the character at the very beginning. I did enjoy some of the dark humor. But the steampunk/Wes Anderson style didn't do anything for me and never has.
Not to get into pun territory here but this was a little too "high art" for my tastes. However, about half way through I said to my girlfriend (who did find the film interesting) "ya know, the weed just hit in a way that made this movie tolerable." So there's that...

This was the first movie in 41 years that I've watched that felt like I've wasted my life with the time I used to get through this whole thing, to then land the ending that I got. F Afflak. F the director. And most importantly F Melinda for being the most hateable character of all time.

This was a genuinely charming film. The children are the star of the show. They have great comedic timing and deliver their lines like pros. Connelly is great as ever. He's basically just playing himself dying.
Whoever else said this felt like a TV show, I agree. Felt like a really long episode of series about family centered drama with funny moments, like this is us. Or party of five.

I was excited about this one, but it's super low budget.
I don’t understand why this had to be made...

If you’re a huge fan of the comic book, like I am, you will be severely disappointed if you had hopes this was good.
It’s not just the movie itself. The characters are nothing like the book.

This was not well done. I watched this because I listed to the podcast The Dropout. If you really want an in depth dive into this story, skip the movie and do the podcast.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Very similar to tone and vibe of The Cube: https://trakt.tv/movies/cube-1997
Wouldn't be surprised if it was an influence on the director because it has very familiar themes.
That said, I liked it. Check your brain at the door and watch Cube first and then this for a very claustrophobic but entertaining evening.

Felt like an add-on episode to a show rather than a fully fleshed out movie.
There were funny moments but a couple of cringe moments as well.
Fun. at times, but ultimately disposable.

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if they took the movie Phone Booth and crossed it with Saw directed by a 70's Italian horror director? Whichever the answer is, that's what you're getting...

The reviews are all pretty mixed on this film and that's totally appropriate. It's either a decent, no nonsense horror flick, or a predictable gory mess all at the same time. It succeeds in being interesting enough to watch but also shows you that there could have been a better version of this with a bigger budget. But that would basically just get you Texas Chainsaw Massacre again so...

The film is exactly the film you're imagining it is.
Would have been fun if they got some better writers and made this a Rocky sequel with a comedy twist.

I knew the girlfriend would love seeing This Is Us guy on tv. There was time travel involved. The trailer made then film look, at least, interesting. Couldnt lose. The movie didn't live up to even that much. At the point I figured out this was not going to recover, I had to continue watching to see how bad it could get. And to enjoy the horrendous acting from everyone involved.
If you must know what this film is like... Imagine if a Nicholas Sparks novel ate a low budget romcom, pooped it out, ate it again and then vomited everything out into a physics book.
Avoid if genuinely interested. Or watch for a laugh. Whatever your flavor...

This is sort of a dark comedy. The comedy is dry tho. This is a message film and the changes in tone mesh but the comedy aspects don't really work because I found myself laughing at parts that were supposed to be "scary".
I think the most well done part is the parodying of 90s hip hop and R&B culture. The parts with music videos and Usher were fantastic and the best parts.
It has a similar concept to a 90s version of the Amazon show Them. Different stories but the same underlying story. Them is done much better tho.

Movie about a white kid that looks like Jack Harlow lite, fitting in with black people, and being accused as a snitch. Would have been better if the kid could act. I heard about this because of what a great performer this new kid was. He sucks.
