It’s not worth the watch

Seen another post on here saying it’s worth the watch.

It’s honestly not.

It starts off decent enough. But quickly spirals into stupidity.

I kept waiting for the moment where shock, it’s all been a fantasy in the girls head and it’s not real. Because honestly all the actions everyone makes is the actions of a fantasy because it has no basis in reality.

I get movies are fantasy and we have to suspend our disbelief a bit. But this movie you literally have to switch your brain off and believe they are living in a world where people can be this stupid.

The last like 5 minutes are ok but again fall really into stupid territory and go against logic.

Only worth watching with a friend so you can point out each new stupid thing the characters do.

So... what are your criticisms, exactly?

Honestly I didn’t want to say to much because a lot of the bad stuff does fall very much into spoiler territory.

So if someone does want to watch it I don’t really want to spoil everything for them.

Pretty much my main one and what destroys the movie. The main character does not do anything that could be considered realistic in the situation they are in and well past when could put down as suspending our disbelief.

The movie starts off seeming it’s going to go in one direction but then just bails from that plan to do something else. Then it seems to be going in another direction and then bails from that. The character is portrayed one way and then portrayed completely differently and then gets changed again. It just doesn’t make any sense.

It’s feels purposefully over the top in some parts you can’t help but feel they are trying to parody these kinds of movies without letting on that’s what they are doing.
