This is one of the worst movies Iโve ever sat all the way through. Each character is dumb and obvious, like the plot and the filmโs central โmysteryโ.
In fact, calling these walking, talking cartoons characters is giving them, and this script, far too much credit. These are caricatures; broad and dumb.
Itโs a shame, as Ryan Johnson has directed a couple great films (Brick, Looper, Brothers Bloom, Knives Out), so I always root for him, but this is a total misfire. Iโm honestly shocked at the positive reactions.
Bah humbug.
