exclusively for people that watched The Truman Show and were like “man, i wish there were more matthew mcconaughey drunkenly yelling about tuna and iraq and sucking on anne hathaway’s chin”... luckily that’s me. a few screams and line deliveries in here that would make nic cage proud (“GIMME THE ROD!”) scattered throughout this very pro-rum, pro-butt, pro-murder, hoot-and-holler cinema gem. as pure a piece of nonsense screenwriting as one could hope for in their life. loved it.

Lmaooooooooooooo.
To be fair, I definitely liked this, as it is incredibly watchable and baffling from the first scene to the last, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly why. It really has no reason to exist, but each and every decision, whether by narrative or character or visual, feels so particular and pored over. It's equal to someone playing darts in a dive-bar, and they miss the board *every fucking time*, and not only does it *not* hit the board, but each dart flies in a different direction so gracefully and forcefully that it must've been on purpose, right? Well, it wasn't. No way. Nohow. But it's that dedication and unaware innocence towards the exorbitant stupidity of Serenity that creates a new good-bad classic, one which features (among many wonderful, wonderful things) a man named The Rules and Diane Lane as a sexy, senile cat lady.
"Steer clear Big Tuna, head for open waters."
Every time I think about how the fish is named Justice my brain breaks all over again.
My favorite movie is “Serenity” starring Matthew McConaughey and Jason Clarke
it has a character literally called The Rules, I wasn't going to hate this (review at the Atlantic)
theres a reason matthew mcconaughey and anne hathaway work in interstellar but dont here in serenity and its because you have to put them in space as theyre too powerful a duo for earth
The idea that this is the next great bad movie, or even that it is remarkably nuts, is completely absurd, if only because the big twist you've heard is so wild is also painfully uncool and boring. Like, it could have gone anywhere, and you went with this? Still, the first half is textbook 90's thriller histrionics, and McC is in mega mode.
I knew the twist and it was still 1000 times more banana pants crazy than I expected. Truly a Hall of Fame WTF Movie. It’s inconceivable that anyone thought this idea would work, much less the dozens of people who had to think that in order to make this thing into reality. Also, McConaughey shows his butt so much we are now officially in The McConASSance.
