Awake not Woke!

I watched the first 2 episodes before calling it quits as this was cancelled after only 1 season only. It's pretty much an all female cast but given the story is a ten year reunion at a Catholic all girls school it makes sense so not going to ding it for that. There are some feminist comments and while I don't remember anything being said in the 2 episodes there is a strong suspicion that at least 2 of the characters are lesbian, and I am guessing several others as well. There is also a heavy dose of DEI diversity casting in characters. This is supposed to be a comedy first and foremost with the apocalypse setting appearing to be a secondary only plot device to keep them all stuck in one place. As I said it's supposed to be a 10 year reunion making them in their late 20's but the writing and characterizations are firmly set in high school. Everybody is annoying, unlikable, irrational and overly emotional. Nobody acts realistically for the situation they are supposed to be stuck in and the all act like they are still in high school with petty stupid squabbles and instant mood swings if someone looks at them wrong. Every single one of them is so stupid it's hard to believe anybody actually managed to graduate in the first place. All the humor is of the annoying eye rolling characters screeching at each stuff so if you like that type of thing there's plenty here.

More Racist Woke Jordan Peele Garbage

I shouldn't be surprised really, Jordan Peele is the most racist critically celebrated producer of mediocrity and garbage since Spike Lee. While he produces instead of directs this it's all still there. Mostly black cast who are all good intelligent people surrounded by terrible evil white people. The entire premise of this movie is the exploitation of black athletes by the evil white people and this new upcoming star black quarterback has to sell his soul to a demonic cult of all white rich people to be a star. He has to defeat the previous black star player, who's sold his soul to the white cult. He then rejects the white cults offer and the movie ends with the black man slaughtering all the white cult members clearly meant to be the good wholesome smart black man escaping the evil clutches of the white man taking advantage of and using him. I don't think it gets much woker than this racist garbage. I saw a lot of articles and reviews talking about the great performance of the lead. I mean if spending most of the movie standing there looking straight ahead with no expression on your face is impressive then sure. Wayans is a miscast as the former football great who seems to be intent on giving a performance bordering on comedic parody while the rest of the movie wants desperately to be artsy pretentious horror. Long lingering shots of nothing, or flashes of quick cut edits interspersed throughout the movie pretending it's deep and impactful. Just skip it like I should of, it's not worth wasting your time on.

Let's see.

I bet Gen Z influencers dig this film with such super terrific jobs these imaginary characters have traveling all over the globe writing about 5-star resorts, staying for free, eating, drinking and partying with the destination being a gay wedding. People We Meet on Vacation is not a rom-com I want to keep. It's no Eternity, which is actually a great movie, and it's not The Kissing Booth. Standard faire, for the most part, with a large amount of cringe stuffed into the early parts of the film. And shitty music. There's absolutely no reason we need this ultra-lame, contrived love story sandwiched between two gay men getting married. There you have it. To check a box. If you make it past the men pooling it up in the beginning all boxes are checked until the end when they get happily married. Other reviews are correct, there's no need to continue watching. The story is garbage and I think it was just a vehicle for getting gay marriage into yet another film. Previous review: I found this movie today and was surprised to see a review on this site already. Some comments and reviews they say it's a gay focused film. I'll never downvote or call out shutting off a film once the obligatory gay couple pops up, usually making out or otherwise in bed with each other. The problem is, absolutely no reviews, trailers, wiki or anything else from the media giants mention this film being gay focused. So now I'm going to watch it. Let's see.

Gay couple

Didn't watch past that
