I wish the execs didnt solely pander to the YOUNGEST audience possible. Just brain rot. they ruined spongebob because its more profitable to write garbage and sell it to children than it is to actually take the time to write an enjoyable show that respects the original intention of Spongebob. Everyone that worked on this should feel ashamed. Its awful. I would not want my name on this.

if the direction was to be raw and real, then dont dig plot holes in your path there. For example, small details of living are painfully included into the film. We watch Thelma live her slow, monotonous life. Scroll gmail, play computer games, the conversations are natural, we watch Danny just scroll on his phone. it is a jarring contrast when you capture such small details of everyday living BUT then the overall climax is watered down with no attention to detail at all. (Spoiler) the scam is just some father/son in a light shop working right next to the PO box where they receive stolen money. Are these the dumbest criminals ever? It creates an inconsistent story when you build up the small details of life but ignore the actual plot you’re trying to tell. I guess its easier to just shove a bunch of relatable philosophies into a movie and hope people are too focused on that to question how lucky Thelma is to get the ONLY scam that isnt foreign. And im tired of these types of movies selling us 0 entertainment but getting 99% on RT because “life mannn” and “death mannn”. honestly, I was hoping for a break from all the indie movie tropes (slow, life like plot, tells a story about the philosophies of human life). I wanted a story where a grandma loses her shit at a tech support scam, gets tf on a plane to india, and gets her money back. And I feel like the plot idea lends itself perfectly for a satirical and tasteful goldmine. We dont need a hundred movies teaching us about the fragility of human life and why we must cherish relationships yadda yadda. these concepts have been integrated into every slow white-boy indie movie in the past decade. We get it lol. We are going to die. Life is strange. Can we get something entertaining? in theory, this was an amazing plot. it was good for a trashy satire comedy, not some deep inspired passion project. Im sad as I was hoping to laugh and have fun.

its good but its paced so painfully slow. it is so frustrating. this movie could have been cut down by half if they took out all the unnecessary BS. i wish i could have watched it on 2x speed.

The people that didn’t like this movie simply didn’t understand it. I’m sorry that you couldn’t enjoy this movie because every detail wasn’t spoon fed to you.... but once you further explore the hidden meanings, it’s an absolute masterpiece. Thanks Jordan Peele for introducing a whole new level to horror. Absolute perfection topped off with an AMAZING soundtrack. Cant wait to see more. I am a big big fan.

People saying this movie isn’t realistic, probably have never thrown a party. This movie is really grounded! Besides the obvious flame thrower and midget punching people, it is super realistic. This is exactly how parties get out of hand. It’s obviously not something that happens often, but if a huge party were to happen it would definitely go down like this. The girl peeing in the driveway, the drugs, the drinking, the recklessness. At first I was confused why this was labelled under comedy, because I’m so use to being the party host all I felt was anxious with anticipation of what’s going to happen to Tom’s house. My anxiety was crawling I couldn’t even sleep after! And that’s the type of movie I like. Because not many can do that.
