This movie suffers terribly from a let's-rely-on-a-dialogue-dump-to-tell-the-audience-all-of-the-exposition problem. Y'all ever heard of show, don't tell?
...at least Anya Taylor-Joy is in it 🤩
I have 3 possible reviews that came to mind. Vote for your favorite.
1. Twister? I barely know her! 🥁🛎️
2. Was Daisy Edgar-Jones the best casting choice for a born-on-a-farm girl with an American southern accent? Unfortunately no. Would I have watched this if she wasn't in it? Probably not.
3. 2 mins in: Why didn't anyone tell me Kiernan Shipka was in this movie?
13 mins in: oh...that's why
I wonder if David and Benji had cousin performances in front of their families.
Why did this movie make me cry on a plane? I guess I should've taken the title more seriously.
Jesse Eisenberg's monologue about the product of a million miracles made me think of my parents. They came from Vietnam after the war with nothing and barely knowing a lick on English. After a million miracles, they somehow made it and gave me an amazing life full of opportunities. I'm the product of a million miracles 🥺😭
Also, I was shocked to see Emma Stone's name as a producer in the credits.
Netflix is collecting the original Mean Girls cast like they're infinity stones.
I watched this with Ashley and Leila at Ashley's house. This is one of those it's-so-bad-it's-good-movie. I had a great time laughing at this movie with them.
