luke benward will temporarily fill the position of young jake gyllenhaal until we have the technology to send me back in time to fuck the real one
oh my god who let this movie be that good???!! no honestly, the writing for this is okay and some very lazy editing in the beginning of the movie but it's still very fun and i would've had a better time with my mother instead. also, there's a plot twist in this and literally snatched my wig and orbit jupiter. maya rudolph shines once again.
it's honestly a fun experience for this upcoming weekend.. now we have three movies that one is a mother version of fight club , a suspense thriller, and a comedy like this one.. choose wisely.
ugh the melissa mccarthy cinematic universe never disappoints! she will defeat thanos
I had to watch my step when I walked out of the theatre because there were wigs scattered everywhere. There's a plot twist that no one saw coming and the entire audience (including myself) screamed!!!!! I was pleasantly surpised by how genuine and funny the film was, but watching Melissa McCarthy is always a delight.
not to be predictable here on letterboxd dot com but gillian jacobs' character was a lesbian and here's my proof:
-bad at math
-has a jumper that says "alcohol you later", proving that she is 1) a fan of puns and 2) a fan of alcohol, both tenets of gay culture
-would be cute with melissa mccarthy's goth roommate
-often looks bemused by str8 people's antics
Melissa McCarthy is a brilliant actress who can work wonders when she has good material to work with. This is not good material.
Accidentally watched two movies in three days where Luke Benward plays a hot guy who is deeply in love with a plus-sized woman and who flatly rejects any suggestion that there's any reason why he wouldn't be. This is no Dumplin', but that kid's going places.
Maya Rudolph: amazing as always.
I think I laughed once or twice during the film. I remember liking one of Maya Rudolph's lines and an interaction between her and her husband. There was also a visual gag I thought was well done, but not enough to laugh. Everything else I found extremely bland and boring.
Boring, unfunny, no clear comedic style, and with several badly set up jokes/plot lines which are about 10 years too late.
I laughed out loud. Melissa McCarthy is genius! The plot was tired and a little stupid but it did a great job utilizing it's performers
