Really enjoyed it, too long

I thought this movie was pretty great, Pete Davidson was surprisingly subtle and was pretty dialed in. Burr surprised me too. I do feel like this movie could have spend some more time in editing, though. Kind of a drawn out 3rd act reminiscent of Apatow’s “Funny People”. 7/10 still, I’m looking forward to see what Davidson does next m.

A common criticism of this film is that it was too long, I agree it needed some trimming

The drugstore robbery sequence felt like it belonged in a different movie for instance and the firehouse scenes were a bit too much

I'd look forward to seeing Davidson in some more roles, he's got a certain every-guy unattractive loser vibe that's kind of charming
