    YA GONNA GET STUCK! YA GONNA GET STUCK!”

    Overall it was pretty boring, some decent moments and some funny moments but thats whatever.

    Absolutely NO idea why Robert De Niro was playing both Frank and Vito. It just makes them seem like they should be related when they’re not. 

    There were some okay shots and it was largely a good looking film but overall that doesn’t save it from being boring and leaving a weird taste in your mouth.

    “Sea turtle fucking season, dude. They fuck for like three hours, I mean, that’s magical.”

    A perfectly easy watch, neither here nor there in terms of quality for the most part. The writing is quite good and a lot of the jokes land but overall its just fine.

    Jason Segel is fantastic, as is Paul Rudd.

    I was also happy with the ending, a lesser writer would have shat the bed and made Peter and Sarah end up back together and I’m glad that didn’t happen.

    Just an absolutely fantastic film, from start to finish. Everything was so good. Ruffalo was amazing again and i’d say it’ll be hard to beat him for best supporting oscar, but it’s WAY too early, plus his character is far too evil to get the recognition he deserves.

    I really wouldn’t be surprised if this gets a best picture nomination though, its genuinely FANTASTIC. I had high hopes, but it was better than i could have expected.
