6.2 - yeah right
The ratings have clearly been fluffed. 2.6 would be a more accurate rating.
shareAgreed. Also, hahaha!
shareEither that or, you know, maybe you have an opinion that a lot of other people don't agree with.

This is a tough film to rate, imo. Great cast for the most part. Brolin and Wiest as the parents are perfect, but the big surprise is Greta Lee as Hae Won. Fey and Poehler are their usual competent and funny selves.
But the problem is that the film plays out like an extended sketch piece, and it gets tiresome. That wouldn't be so bad if the jokes worked more often than they do here.
I'm between a six and a seven, but in any event can say for sure it is not worth watching more than once.
I agree, the movie was funny, but I felt like I was watching an episode of SNL. It seemed more like it was written to be one of their sketches instead of a full movie.
I did watch the extended version so that may have had a little to do with it. I will admit though I found myself laughing quite often!
Personally I dont watch movies like this to learn something, so they dont have to be some huge award winning movie, I watch them to be entertained and to laugh! Plus it helps make my problems disappear for a while.
That is the reason these kind of movies are made, we need a break from the real world sometimes!

Completely agree with that assessment and rating. I liked the movie but had no need to finish it in one sitting. I think they are too used to working on a week to week basis, so everything comes of just a bit rushed. There are many good bits but it still seems like tv. Some of it is because there are unnecessary characters played by their SNL colleagues, that do nothing to advance the narrative. They need to be funnier, if they are to be added unnecessarily.
