First time watching since childhood. I can see why it stays cherished to lots of people...

Nonsensical pablum worthy of nobody’s time. The story is pedestrian, the execution is sloppy at best, and the pacing is a nightmare.

I want to live in a world where Chloe Fineman can carry a great comedy as the lead.

We’re sadly not there yet.

The acting is so shitty (especially Joe Mangianello) that it’s making me rethink my fandom of Deal or No Deal Island.

MORE NETFLIX MURDER SLOP.

Infinitely more competent than most current horror and it looked great. I’ve just never been completely bought in to endings where the bad guys/killers verbally spell out the “why” to strangers who happen to be our protagonists. It’s so Scooby Doo.

Sam Jackson calls this the movie of his that he likes to watch most. I would probably say that as well if I spent a bunch of time groping and grinding around with prime Geena Davis. As a movie, it's uneven. Some parts are pretty great and other parts are super clunky. Overall, it sits right in the middle somewhere.

This is really solid. I dig the writing (it’s very funny) and the use of non-conventional people for these roles. The only constructive criticism is that the ending could be a little tighter and less Kevin Smith-y. And if it had a bigger budget, a better editor would have made it sing at the top of its lungs. Some really great stuff going on with this one - bravo to all involved.

I used to ionately defend this one... likely because of the time/place/situation I was in when it came out (I was 16 and had a Details magazine subscription...).

Over 30 years later, it's more of a "okay, yeah, I " time capsule than anything else. Society has moved on, life has moved on, all that.

Finally got around to it and pleased to say that it exceeded the hype and awards. Incredible.

There’s a line where Brosnan turns to that Adam guy and screams “SHUT THE FUCK UP.”

Other characters end up saying that phrase a lot as well.

They are speaking for the viewer, as this thing is insufferable. I have no idea why studios keep trying to make this guy happen, but he kinda blows.

I laughed once during this movie. Other than that, the writing is crap, the acting is crap, and this is just more slop for the vat

YO THIS SUCKS.

It’s trying too hard to be Mel Gibson-era smarmy action hero fare without grasping some of the Western nuances that made that stuff work an eternity ago.

Weird slap bass soundtrack on top of the whole thing. Just a mess of a bad, bad movie.

Story = whatever…

ACTION = fucking awesome.

Streaming slop is streaming slop.

More streaming slop. Starts as found footage, abandons found footage, ends up predictably being a film within a film. Whoever wrote the dialog is an absolute hack.

I finally watched this to get my friends off my back about never having watched this. It's seriously what I thought it would be, which is why I skipped out the first 17 years. I think you realllly have to love Downey, Jack Black, and Stiller to be into this movie. I'm... fine(?) with Stiller, but don't really get into Downey or Jack Black too often. So yeah, this was just kinda right down the middle for me.

You’d think this would be right up my alley, but it’s inept in everything it tries to be.

Finally got around to this after 40 years. It starts off with a great tone, but quickly devolves into basically every 80's movie trope imaginable. Very funny in the sense that ~90 minutes felt like an eternity, as the pacing wasn't good and the content was... proto-content? Just there. Not a lot of feeling and the tonal shift was ridiculous, but not ridiculous enough to be entertaining. Tough to watch something like this post-28 Days Later and other way better zombie flicks.

When I sent my friend Colin a text saying that I was going to watch this, he hit me back with "Have you seen the 'catch me outside' girl's music video beefing with his (Tom Delonge's) daughter where she talks about fucking her dad a bunch? Willing to bet it's better than the movie."

And he was right...

First rewatch in a while! I still love it to death.

9 years later, I finally watched this. I meant to attend the Beyond Fest premiere before it came out, but something came up. It was infinitely better than this movie, so I’m glad it worked out that way. No shocker that nobody talked about this one in my circles since then… in spite of mega-hype from those dopey LA types who overhype everything remotely “horror” or “indie.” This is just bad bad.

Way better than anticipated. Kind of like a low budget Predator with even dumber characters. This is how to make a low budget camp flick and showcases some actual craft when it comes to shots/pacing. Nice surprise.

Boring. Uninspired. Unoriginal, right down to this being like the 10th movie called “Street Trash.” Bailed on this one early. This would be like Hatebreed recording yet another song where Jasta screams “rise” or another RH song about California.

Creators: why not make a better poker movie?

Viewers: why not watch a better poker movie?

Low quality doc about an otherwise quality book. Just go read the book and you’re way better off.

Finally watched this after wanting to since it came out. Worth the wait, as they didn’t steer into some Stop or My Mom Will Shoot/ridiculous territory. It felt grounded and plausible, which was the way to go. Solid.

I watched this on a plane and it was kinda perfect for the occasion since they make you watch it on your tiny ass phone to save money “f0R tH3 inVeSt0Rs” these days. All dialog, so you could essentially just listen to 95% of it (if need be) and still be fine. This is the Dakota Johnson that shows promise - not that Madame Web mailed in disaster - and a solid Penn performance. Not mad at it.

This was auto-playing after a nap. Will Smith and Kevin James and a character named Allegra? Hard .

I enjoyed this dude on SNL a lot, so figured I’d try his standup. It rules. Happy to have stumbled into his work.

Way better than I anticipated, given how A24 is typically “white folks in the woods”-type horror. This is gnarly and disgusting and I think that’s why these house whites in the comments didn’t enjoy it as much as their normal “strange occurrences in the woods” shit that’s been done to death.

Powerhouse performance from the elderly lead. She rocked this.

Also, don’t attempt to eat anything while watching this.

Pretty rad. They even pull off a Weird Al sync in the middle.

Two fat white guy podcasters (I know this is redundant from word to word) try to make what they think is a documentary. They fail miserably. The main fat white guy podcaster does this unhinged vocal affectation because he falsely fancies himself a classic broadcaster, but it just sounds like a dork that does a podcast. Anyway, this sucks.

More Blumhouse slop, this time in the form of a remake of a film from 2 years prior that was perfectly fine and in English in the first place. Anyway, they changed a major thing about this one and it’s that much stupider as a result. Better than most (given the source material), but why does it even need to exist when the source material is readily available?

It took me 2/3 of the movie to realize that was Lohan. I thought they weirdly de-aged Christina Hendricks since part of the movie took place 10 years earlier blah blah blah

Yo, this SUUUUUUUCKED.

You know it’s terrible when the writer of the movie has a Letterboxd and fights with people in the comments. You’re lame and you write like shit, Joe Russo.

Yet another “white people and the woods” A24-inspired/infected bullshit horror movie that tries to marry that played out nonsense to the OG Wicker Man.

Just watch the OG Wicker Man another time instead of messing around with any of this slop.

God-awful. I only made it 9 minutes before having to pull myself out (and I watch terrible movies all of the time). When you get to the guy working on the car with a crappy fake accent, it’s beyond time to leave…

Solid 90’s-inspired throwback. Clearly written by a fucking nerd (in a good way).

This was ass. Breaking the 4th wall right away for no good reason and cameos for the sake of cameos. Uninspired garbage.

This one is as stupid and nonsensical as “Trap,” but way (unintentionally) funnier. The runt lead is a hilarious cop wannabe and the female lead’s charisma is flatter than a plate of piss. This sucks completely, but its ineptitudes are wholly entertaining.

This is the guy that sucked in Twisters and that one movie where Sydney Sweeney plays a retarded person yet again. I kinda like him in this for the first time. It’s just a shame that Linklater died before he could finish the film and that the third act was written, directed, and produced by the United Healthcare AI program working overtime

Standard Netflix quick-doc streaming slop ironically uses AI to make a “powerful” message about consumption, waste, and global warming. We deserve to die in a fiery ball of destruction at this point.

Hard one to stick the landing on, but they did okay. The rest was awesome.

Brutal… and a bit better quality in craftsmanship than your standard Netflix doc series slop.

You know how so many dummies are like “every movie is a sequel or comic book movie and they don’t make original movies anymore?”

Anyway, this sucked so much ass that we should be forced to watch nothing but Marvel movies for 8 months as punishment.

Starts off kinda interested and then loses steam a bit. I will say that this was a little ahead of the times, as I’ve seen infinite movies in this vein since.

Eh, I guess of all the nepo babies making stuff, Zöe is probably one of the better ones at it. Even still, this ended up mid.

Yet another bad Stephen King movie adaptation. Why are 99% of them terrible?

M. Night Suckmydong. What a hunk of shit.

That little kid needs to catch hands for giving aspirin to the dog.
