Nope 2022
I benefitted immensely from coming to this movie late and with few expectations. I suspect at its release, many people wanted Get Out 2: Get Outter and were pretty disappointed, but I had a great time

Like many 90's comedies, it's the best when it's disregarding the plot and letting us spend time with this earnest, dimwitted husband played so well by Michael Caton.
The moments where the movie's focus drifts from him are its weakest and the buildup to a triumphant ending in court seemed hamfisted and rushed.
But who cares? If someone wants this movie to be more than it is, well, tell him he's dreamin'
