Tortuously cringe.
And for an example of the woke part, the "fairy godmother" is a "Black man".
Feels like another russian propaganda movie again. They can't just be a human trafficker; oh, no no, they have to be of a "certain country" 😒. As if we don't have enough russian propaganda movies from the "GREAT AMERICANS." Should've guessed it when I saw Stallone's name on the producer list, even though he wasn't in the movie. Cybertruck's sponsorship for a second. They couldn't find anything else? That is one of the shittiest-looking cars.
Watchable 1987 dark comedy with Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito with some pretty good acting. While there are some really funny moments they are few with more of subtle dramedy style to it. A decent movie but not without some problems. At almost 2 hrs long it starts to drag after a while with not a whole lot happening other than salesmen sitting around talking. I think it could of benefited from a slightly shorter tighter runtime to speed things up a bit. Some character reactions to things seem a little off as well. How many times can these two scream at each other in apparent hatred yet nobody ever throws a punch. After a while it gets a bit grating and you just want one of them to kick the other one's ass and get it over with. There's nothing woke and they do a good job of getting the 60's feel right including all the incredible cars. Still worth a watch just don't expect a laugh out loud movie.
How do you have this many name actors in a movie and turn out something this bad. Nothing about this is funny, none of the jokes land at all. Every character is made to be as annoying as possible and nobody is likable. The acting is ok and this is squarely on the director who happens to be Jonah Hill. I've never understood why he is so highly regarded. He's not really bad but he's an average actor who is basically the same character in every movie including this one. This was just painful to watch and I gave up after 30 minutes. As for woke there is some Dei casting and an over the top flamboyant gay character.
