Almost

Applies to both Hurley and Fraser. Great sense of comedy. Average acting chops. Works great in a less serious movie.

Also, Hurley is unbearably hot. Fraser probably is too.

The skits are good, decently executed, though hobbled by a disappointing production value. Looks unpolished. And a somewhat predictable overall arc.
To be fair, I find Ramis (Spengler from Ghostbusters) as a director to be hit or miss, and this one definitely is not on par with Groundhog Day.


The sex relationship angle would just not fly in today's Hollywood. Which is a good thing. For the movie, not for Hollywood, let'em crash.

So, basically negative on the woke scale, only mildly funny, but utterly likable leads.

It says it's based on a true story but I didn't care enough to check on accuracy tot he facts. The acting is average and passable I guess. It's another movie with annoying stupid characters doing dumb things and nobody is likable. Set in 1967 it never really feels like it. They just through some sort of period clothes and and hair in and call it a day. The attitudes and speech are all off. A positive is they used an actual real bear instead of CG. This means it looks great. Unfortunately it also means you will never see the bear and actors in the same scenes so all the 'attacks' are badly shot close ups of bears pawing and biting sleeping bags and cuts to people getting slowly drug away by a person just off screen. No tension or realism to any of the scenes. It's all pretty slow and gets very boring very quickly. I stopped paying attention around the 50 minutes mark somewhere but I'm not
really sure why this is rated R. There are no on screen attacks, the small amount of blood and a few post attack quick shots of wounds are nothing you wont see on tv anymore and i don't even remember there being any language. It's all very sanitized PG content. As for woke there are 2 token black characters that seem unlikely in 1960's Montana mountains. The female ranger seems to be far more competent than her dumb lazy male counterparts and naturally has to deal with sexism. The female characters in general are smarter and able to keep it together more than the overly emotional dumber men.

Holy Shit I was Confused

We got the original to re-watch and I've been putting it off because I remember the review on WokeRNot saying it's full of lesbians and bisexuals and utterly woke. I had no idea they remade this film in 2025 and there you have it, that's where the all the woke horseshit comes from. The original is actually a great film.

I keep asking AI why Hollywood keeps remaking these films. It says easy money is the reason. Nostalgia. Maybe I'll ask why they must make them so woke.

More talking than story

Cheap, half-baked movie that feels like it was written by a blind guy’s feet; with an unoriginal script where they just keep arguing and talking in a genre that’s supposed to be “show, don’t tell” and on top of that, it’s woke too.

I couldn’t even make it past 30 minutes.

Rise of King David with a lot of music and less violence.

This movie is a composite of some of the events in David's life, leading up to being king over Israel. The David and Goliath scene skipped the part where David beheaded Goliath with his own sword. There were more instances of violence being removed or reduced.
There was a lot of music. Too much for my preference.
I would suggest that parents watch this with their children and then discuss the Biblical account as they see fit. It's their responsibility so they should make that decision.

Fun Jason Statham action flick!

Nothing woke here! This is how action movies should be... have a hero, the bad guys coming to get him and the girl who gets caught up in the middle which he has to save now. Very little slow or dull parts and it keeps you interested the whole movie. Must watch for all Statham fans!

Not bad. Nothing exceptional.

No woke at all.
I was hoping for more trick-riding, or rodeo action. There was very little and it involved a lot of quick scene changes. The best part of this movie was the exceptionally good acting by a 12-year old. The story was Hallmark-ish. It was predictable... and cheesy. It's a good choice for a clean, family movie night.

Watchable. Nothing special

No woke. Clean. Entertaining.
Aside from being predictable, the only negative would be the issue a young child drawing violent sketches shortly after her mother died. That's kind of a heavy issue. I'm no child psychologist, but I don't think the best approach was to encourage it.
The humor was clever. The acting was surprisingly good. The CGI was exceptional.

A rom-com for the woke brain rot crowd. Story wise it's a cliché with nothing original though the acting isn't really that bad surprisingly. However the humor just isn't there. It's all eye rolling and not funny in the least. Then there is the woke garbage. The usual mixed race couple where the wife yells at the husband to stop mansplaining then smile smugly and says 'he does whatever I say'. The biggest issue however is the lead male is an annoying pathetic hipster beta douche loser who eats healthy knows nothing about sports hates confrontations and loves to exercise while the lead female is the aggressive alpha type who eats
greasy garbage hates exercise is confrontational and loves football depicting the woke gender role reversal. At one point she talks down to him and basically tells him he's an idiot and naïve to his face. She screws up and tips a guy with a $5k voucher because she thinks it's a $50 dollar one then later when she finds out she yells at him like it's his fault and says he's a thief. This is another of those movies with not one single likable character to be found anywhere. I hated everybody in this and after about 30 minutes I was done with this garbage.

Outlandish story that really happened.

The movie had the feel of trying to take a completely implausible story and make it seem possible. Except, this one is true. Yes, a 59 year old linebacker did play in Division III NCAA Football. Yes, he did compete (and win) a weightlifting contest against his 35-year junior teammates. He didn't get much playing time, but he did suit up and take the field in real games.
The acting and directing are good. There's nothing spectacular, it's just a feel-good movie based on true events.

Rom-com or Chik-flik. Funny and clever.

Zero woke.
Decent humor. Good acting and directing. It's a good "movie night with the wife." kind of flick. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Kim Coates (Tig - Sons of Anarchy) was a pleasant surprise.

Pro black movie, so it's what you'd expect. Has a scene with the fake black woman "FORWARD" poster on the wall
