Kurt Hansen's Reviews
I'm no investigative sleuth
Those Internet sleuths on Reddit won't have any trouble figuring this thriller out in a few seconds. It reads like a Netflix Lifetime Movie. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of woke propaganda in the movie.
But. We do have to obligatory super duper mixed race couple to deal with. At least they don't hop in the sack or make out and stuff and David Ajala is a cool black dude since he's from England and all that. They kind of dislike each other and keep their distance.
The books I read are usually classics, so I had to ask AI if the original boyfriend was black or green or what, but AI says that is unspecified. AI likes to make everyone happy and joyous, but if that is the case, I guess we have artistic liberty to change stuff around and make the boyfriend black. You know, like all modern films do.

Girl Scientists Love Them Those Big Black Dudes
This film checks all the boxes: drug addicts, gays, interracial scientist love affairs, emasculated man-boys, kickboxing Chinese woman and, naturally, super smart co-ed women in science-y getups. I might have added or missed a few things because of not paying attention to this turd of a film, written and directed by the same talentless goons. I'm surprised they didn't cameo in the film as well. Maybe they did. Who the hell knows. I did not blink long enough to miss the hot sexy scientist with the big black dude, but that's how it is. My internal medicine doctor dates black dudes exclusively.

Devolves from pre-teen potty humor to troubled gay lives
Rotten tomatoes has a review for "Just Before I Go" that about summarized it well enough: "Lurches along a wobbly line between salacious comic nastiness and nauseating sentimentality.".
One of the strangest films I've seen in a long time that starts out a bit vulgar and nasty and turns into a kind of pedestal for the tribulations of these gay couples in the film. I fast forwarded it and the movie got more and more gay-centric. I'm like, WTF. Usually, I turn a movie off at the first glance of two men kissing. Don't care. I got my opinion. It turns my stomach.
I kept this one on well past the kissing dudes part, and the plot just devolved into these homosexual relationships and their struggles, hopes, and dreams of the future. Movie chat says I have a low IQ and that there's more to the film. I get it. Life changes. Struggles with the past and my struggle with the second half of this movie.

Could it be this horrible? Meh.
After reading the other review for this film, I just absolutely need to see it for myself. Like a car crash. So I'm going to watch the first fifteen minutes and report back. Really? It just can't be such drivel. Who'd it appeal to? Are kids these days mindless DEI prototypes? I must inquire...
Ok. Now I start to get it. Coen and his lesbian wife. Look it up. I thought it was a joke. His lesbian wife, diesel dyke, Rosie O'Donnell impressionist and Coen write these films together apparently more for "self gratification" than anything else. That's my guess anyhow. There may be a trilogy of said lesbian films. Think, "Lord of the Rings" in romper stomper boots. The particular mystery of who this appeals to is solved.
And the answer is: No. and Yes. Honey Don't is brimming with lesbians and gays and bodily fluids and that's all in the first 15 minutes, but it knows what it is. This film doesn't hide the fact that it's created by a tired looking man married to a lesbian. There's no "hidden" agenda. In the case of Honey Don't, we need to be offended that it tries to recapture the early Cohn Brother's success, Pulp Fiction-esque filmmaking and it just doesn't work at all. I say, good for you to follow that dream and we love who we love and make films about it too.
Who does it appeal to? Doesn't matter. It appeals to Coen, his lifestyle and there's nothing subtle about it. We need to worry more about the subtle propaganda in advertising than we do about this film.

C'mon. What in the actual hell is going on here?
I kind of watch these films with one eye open but today, I was like, "what in the actual hell?"! The president is a black woman. Ok. Got it. Now, the general or admiral or whatever leader of the aircraft carrier is a platinum blonde, somewhat dyke, woman?
And what's up with the guys in the White House? Fat cat hothead white men who want nothing more than to blow up the world. They're like, "the AI wins. We must blow up and kill now!"
LOL! I forgot the assassination attempt. God damn ciz white people always causing trouble.
And don't get me wrong. You want to put women in these positions it's cool. Can you not make them look like or be lesbians, for one? And just stop with the propaganda. We get it already.

Trying to remember Weapons
I have a hard time remembering this movie, but yeah there's some kind of gay Asian in it. I remember that. I think my wife liked this movie because of the way all the kids ran with their arms out and all. I think that was the only reason. I'm starting to remember the plot and it wasn't really that good for my likings.

Hilarious.
It's hilarious that I can just remember one percent of this movie. That is how forgettable it is. I know the first film in the series. It was quite good for what it was, but this movie? Can't recall. I do know that it was free of liberal nonsense, otherwise I'd have at least remembered that.
I either have dementia, ADHD (little late for Ritalin) or, like a previous comment says, I "watched it in 3 parts".

Girl Boss Kicks Ass (minor spoilers)
I enjoyed this film right up until the end. It didn't ruin the experience, but made me step back and say, "huh". Like, Better Call Sal is a badass dude that kicks the ass of anyone he wants. Right up until the Girl Boss and her ladies at the end. I'm all about ass-kicking women and not in a Russ Meyer kind of way, but it's so forced and outside the narrative of the rest of the movie that I can only say, "woke". The women give him a run for his money, but Sal wins in the end.

Not so bad. Go girl boss!
It was at the very end I kind of put the whole girl boss thing together. Like, Julia Louis-Dreyfus was the evil doer and, of course, Florence Pugh was the lead kick ass girl. What I mean to say is I made it through the film without being offended by girl boss. See? Not everything offends. And I think Florence Pugh is quite sexy, so that helps.
As other reviewers say, it's a fine movie but nothing I'd sit through again and, for me, not even add this movie to my collection.

Finding this little gem of a film and must comment
I re-watched the original "The Craft" movie and decided to watch the 2020 remake, "The Craft: Legacy". What a treat. Woke before its time. I said to my wife, "who's that ugly linebacker in the coven?", not knowing the actor was a trans anyhow.
To be honest, discovering the trans actor coupled with a sad, old, out of place David Duchovny, I somewhat forgot about all the other propaganda stuffed in this movie, but it is there. We can use this movie in our documentary, "the evolution of wokeness". That would be fun.
