You know it's bad when even the liberal critics hate it

It will probably end up being on a lot of worst of the year lists.

Maybe the liberal critics are judging it fairly and soundly for actual artistic merits, instead of conservative critics who get their pants in a wad at the sight of a character with blue hair and immediately label a movie "woke" is more than 2 black people are in it.

Conservative film critics would give a positive review to the movie IF it were actually funny, regardless of whether they actually agree with the subject matter or premise. For example, Armond White is a conservative film critic for the National Review, and does not support the LGBTQ agenda, but has given favorable reviews to films about same-sex couples like God's Own Country, and Summer of '85, because the characters were well written and the story was interesting and believable. He also gave a favorable review to I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, because it was actually funny, while he gave a negative review to "Bros", because it was NOT!

I don't even think black people like it! And they were the target audience!

I saw it yesterday. A dozen people in my theater and I would say 75% of them were black. Not joking when I say there were maybe 3 or 4 moments that got actual laughs. People were silent most of the jokes. Doesn't matter if you're white or black, it's just a bad movie.
