This was a funny movie. But there were some things that were off that didn’t quite gel for me.
The lead actor is a funny guy, but it felt like the script didn’t give him much opportunity to be funny. Most of that went to the second lead, who definitely was funny here…
…at least, during the first half. There came a point where it felt like the filmmakers realized they had to do character arcs, then the movie got kind of serious. But I hadn’t bought into the characters enough to really enjoy that journey. Plus, there were some early things that felt like setups to me, but then never materialized.
Then the end was mostly satisfying. Finally some callbacks. Though it left hanging at least one thread that I’d wanted to see resolved. So overall, meh.
