Am I embarrassed that I watched this? Not really
Am I embarrassed that I laughed at the many, many, many dick jokes? A little bit
This movie was extremely dumb and the concept is impossible to really believe, and there are definitely moments where the pacing/rhythm of the jokes feel a little off, but John Cena and William H. Macy are undeniably charming. Recommend as a silly watch for laundry folding
(Docking this a half a point for the AI generated stuff, especially seeing how obvious it is that the filmmaker valued and appreciated the importance of practical effects. Feels like an especially weird last-minute cop-out to me—how hard/expensive would it have really been to support one other artist, you know?)
But otherwise, I thought this movie was pretty fun, took some really big swings and did a wonderful job building a sense of dread throughout. There were times where is…
This was just…not good. Narratively confusing, zero chemistry between the leads. I guess the battle scenes were impressive but generally, I give it two baguettes down
Also, Joaquin Phoenix speaking in his mumbly American accent, surrounded by actors speaking in posh British accents…all playing French folks. Feels weird, man.
Not sure I fully understand the hype, but throw Willem Dafoe in anything and I can get behind it
