    I grew up next to the strip club they go to (shoutout Ocean’s Cabaret). 

    Least realistic thing in this film was them driving around in Texas City with the windows down (would never happen). 

    Hot donut shop girl getting groomed was most realistic for sure.

    You can’t convince me this wasn’t made as a prank. Also why is Paul giving everyone “fuck me” eyes. Also no vaguely Arabic songs played when characters were near death which was the heart and soul of the original

    Some of the best storytelling I’ve seen around the American experience and exploitation in sports. Can’t even make any dumb jokes because this was that good

    I enjoyed the humor but it didn’t feel like this film knew what tone it wanted to have. Also Almodovar’s dialogue works much better in Spanish than English
