It is very hard to care about anybody in this film as they all pretty much are terrible people. It is practically a farce parade and I kept waiting for someone to care about and any reason to care. Finally after about 60 minutes, I asked my spouse if he was getting into this at all. After about five more minutes he also was in the same space: enough is enough, turn it off.
That’s the point. You’re not supposed to care about any of them. They’re terrible human beings.
I guess you don’t have a sense of humor because I loved this movie. I laughed.
I loved this movie. The fact that they’re terrible people is the point, like Seinfeld or Always Sunny. It’s more of a comedy than a serious movie
like Seinfeld or Always Sunny
That helps. As it turns out, I didn’t care for these either. At least I know I have a type now. Appreciate it.
I love this movie so damn much, but it’s essentially a reworking of Shane Blacks earlier movie Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
