My actual review of the movie

I have time for Shia LaBeouf (Transformers and so on) so here's a few more words (spoiler for the film M3gan)

watchable enough, but contained too many tropes or co incidences within the location

- dude loses his father in a car crash (this also happened to the girl in M3gan, but car crashes do happen). this also leads to him assaulting a teacher (2 previous records apparently) that gets him under house arrest
- at the time of his lock in, hot girl also happens to move in next door
- dude also is able to see all of his neighbours property
- crazy comical best friend type character
- and one of the neighbours is a serial killer. which. always happens

if a flaming bunch of newspapers was put on your patio (non flammable surface), would you stamp it out? with your socks? or just leave it to burn out? the whole film is watchable enough, I just think....home living people wouldn't actually do all those things. they'd just....chill and watch telly

This movie was a part of my childhood, but now I see how cliche and Hollywood it really is. I enjoy it nevertheless, but you really have to ask what they were trying to accomplish by putting in an ending where no one receives counseling and is as happy as if they won a million bucks, seemingly forgetting the terror of the last night.

That car accident was also staged quite badly. Who would ever cut off at the last minute when someone was behind them, why did those people at the damaged car not come, and was that second driver that ran into them texting on their phone?

Thank you. I have to say, that was beautiful. I wasn't expecting this, but having seen it, I didn't realise that I didn't know. 2 months ago was a long time ago, a real long time ago. I think I mentioned this movie in another comment somewhere, but, for some crazy reason, decided to give it it's own review. I know, f##king bonkers mate. But, this is the world we live in.
