Booksmart 2019
Kind of wish this movie took itself more seriously. It has a fairly well-developed plot and plenty of likable characters, but the scriptwriting is lazy and the warm and fuzzy ending (we’re all friends forever!

Hit Man 2023
That’s it, I’m done trying to watch Glen Powell movies. My boyfriend, his brother and I couldn’t even finish this film and unanimously agreed it was the worst movie we’d seen in a while.
The plot was moving at a GLACIAL pace and the script was so bizarre. I hated everything about this movie. Can we all please do better?
