I never thought I’d love a movie about the struggle for white men to find their voices in our modern times but this honky BJ Novak done did it to me sucka!

It’s been a minute since I’ve been in a theater where the whole room roared with this much laughter. Great casting! AND NO NIGGAS SUFFER HERE JUST THE WHITES!
