As a movie with Eddie Murphy… I thought it would be funny. Unfortunately it turned into a cringe comedy with what felt like forced scenarios. The message is good, just bad execution unfortunately. Lastly there was really no connection between the main characters and it really was all setup kinda fast.
Story wise, it was ok. The whole movie is a whirlwind with tiny holes puncturing it. The family moves to stay safe but ends up essentially back where they started which create holes that feel unfilled. A new batch of characters are introduced, but left underdeveloped and underutilized. Some feel out of place while others leave you in bewilderment. The entire time I didn’t really feel attached to any of the characters aside from the original cast. It just felt…
A sad tragedy of lifelong friends falling apart because of one’s desire to make a mark in history while the other can’t let things go. It is a slow movie but one that reflects a secluded island and how everyone knows eachother.
