Straight-up unhinged. It drags Hollywood for being fake, clueless, and way too full of itself, using wild, offensive humor that actually makes a point.
Lots of lol moments- my favorite being Stiller running over the bridge shouting “I WAS WRONG!” while being literally stabbed in the back by half-squat.
There is a lot to love here. Pattinson’s performance is maybe my favorite of his. 17 was especially endearing. The tone was great. Thought provoking while still funny. I loved Mickey’s relationship with Nasha. I loved the ongoing focus on the importance of sauces.
It did however run too long. It lost me a bit in the middle and it felt like there were several endings.
“Sauce is the true litmus test of civilization.”
I really loved this at first. It lost some magic after the time leap because the adults were still acting like children.

The hold this movie had on me as a teen was so intense. I was obsessed! Is it a good movie? Objectively, no. But damn if there isn’t some epic soundtrack moments. The escalator scene with “Colorblind”. The ending with “Bittersweet Symphony”. So good. Still gives me chills when Annette drives off into the sunset with Sebastian’s car.
