“Do you really have to work or are you just trying to avoid talking about yourself?”
Jesus Christ.
Okay so Emma Mackey plays a character named Ella McCay….how is that the only good thing that happens in this film lol
My mom often nods off and I wake her up but I decided to save her the disappointment on this one. Also unfortunately (for her) she managed to stay awake for 96% of it
Laughed in the theater thrice. Only once was with the film.
Some of the worst writing I’ve ever experienced in a major film. How the fuck are there so many “respected” actors in this!? And no wonder they’ve been showing the trailer constantly for months bc they spent so much money on this steaming pile of shit and knew it was gonna be humiliated.
Was annoyed by the narrator after 3 minutes (less if I include the fact I’ve seen the trailers) ugh I know this is supposed to placate to older people but even they can’t think this is good, right???
Absolutely atrocious performances from everyone except but I mean at least Kumail & Ayo kinda tried?
Loved that Ella was so mad about the overtime thing that she immediately had them proceed to work at least another two shifts before relief lmfao
It was like the film wanted to be anti-political corruption but then got so distracted by the side characters it forgot to make a coherent point on any subject
If I hear the phrase “normal family” one more time, ima become a family annihilator
Closest I’ve ever been to walking out of a screening. As my mom put it, “Miserable.”
Watched with my mommy at Warren Regal East
Placed at the bottom of both of our 2025 Ranked lists. And she doesn’t even rank films!
