SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
