I wouldn’t recommend this movie. I had high expectations because of Ryan Reynolds being cast in it, but it was pretty rough. Some parts were funny, but few, and there was a lot of repetition. My friend (who watched the movie with me) pointed out that there was a lot of padding the run time as well. Others have compared this to the Lego movie, and I would say that this is the bad version of the Lego movie. As some others have pointed out, the idea was good but execution was poor/lost potential. Film contained agenda-based bits that seemed inappropriate for the movie, including the standard hate-whites-and-men lines seen in many movies that target young adult audiences. These lines are also ironic, as the main characters in this film are white, and the characters of color are side characters (as another reviewer pointed out, representation is still an issue in this movie).
