    -if this is Jim Carrey's last film this performance will not have been done in vain. What a spectacle, what a man(s)!
    -Most of the jokes missed for me but for some reason the hand puppet had me cackling.
    - Plot and Emotions completely don't work for me in these films but the video game callbacks completely tickle my nostalgia bone.

    I started to watch Anyone but You and immediately realized that all the characters grated on me. Decided to switch to this and thank God for that. This was the opposite experience in that I immediately loved the characters and their chemistry. Nice to get some of that Broad City energy back in my life. Movie doesn't have a ton to say but that's alright because it is pretty damn funny.

    Saying I was a person who had never heard the phrase "on the edge of my seat" and I just watched this movie.

    -Sociopath Tom Cruise is best Tom Cruise
    -Like…

    I loved this so much! Really a cinematic landmark in that a legendary director gives us such an intimate look into the childhood that shaped the blockbusters we all know and love. I didn't clock the corniness at all and felt that it was actually a little less sentimental than Spielberg usually gets. He was actually funny in some parts and of course it looked amazing throughout. What more could you want?
