Did a bunch of people write good reviews hoping that Kristen Wiig herself would read it & contact them to be in her next movie? Because otherwiseโฆ are you kidding me with this?!
I mean seriously, I LOVE quirk!! But this was not it. As one reviewer wrote, โafter the Asian kid delivered the newspapers,โ (a scene I actually LOVED because I too love to belt out Barbara Streisand songs) it was all downhill from there.
It seemed like they were trying to get an Austin Powers vibe going, but none of it worked.
There were too many odd stories going on that barely seemed pertinent to the overall plot.
A Quentin Tarantino film this is NOT.
I do always appreciate, however, how Kristen Wiig has like zero marionette lines.
Anywhoโฆ I really do not like wasting energy on negativity. And I did say some nice things here. But I simply could not NOT put out my own personal warning of โDO NOT RENT THIS MOVIE!โ
I got it for $0.99. That shouldโve been an obvious clue. And I was just reminding a friend how she shouldnโt waste time hanging out with friends if she hasnโt yet fit in her daily activity. Thankfully I did not skip my exercise to watch this. ๐ช๐ฅฐ
