But the problem is with alcohol that it's virtually impossible to limit your alcohol intake to those levels. That was the whole point of the movie.
I didn't think it was quite as bad as you did.
The documentary is based on SMF's home movies, why wouldn't she be the center of it?
But good job promoting your review, though.
Not at all.
Where did you get that in my statement?
I liked everything from "Kill Bill" to "Foxy Brown" to "Hidden Figures" to "Erin Brockavich" to "The Help"
What I don't like are heavy-handed movies that try to force an agenda down everybody's throats at the expense of the art itself.
There's a way to make art with a message without it being unrealistic or too preachy.
Completely false.
I talked about the son being UNWORTHY while the daughter being WORTHY as peak 2021 wokeness.
It wasn't just about the girl being worthy, they had to make her brother patently unworthy and ghetto to justify her being the only possible person who was truly worthy.
And what progress the brother made was only because the saintly sister helped him out.
Some people don't care as long as they get paid.
Couldn't be me.
LMMFAO, "Communist mind control?"
Watch Newsmax much?
Agreed, but let's be real, she's like Tiffany Haddish, she's there to be the loud & black, ghetto stereotype that it's okay for white people to laugh at.
I wouldn't say it sucked, but it was nowhere near in the ballpark as the first.
Our cultural climate won't let that happen.
The whole "worthy daughter being passed over for her unworthy brother" storyline was peak 2021 "wokeness".
They also had 3 young girls whooping Wesley Snipes' ass, really?
I kinda agree, but this is Hollywood now, just like the Borat sequel and as you mentioned, the "Bill & Ted" sequel, they had to inject the whole "woke", "girl power" thing in it in a hamfisted way.
Like you said, not enough to make it unbearable (see "Promising Young Woman), but enough to make it annoying and as you mentioned, stripped it of it's original edge.
I also really admire your eye, as you caught that this is more of a family movie than the first one.
The first one had Samuel L. Jackson ready to blow people's heads off at McDowell's & boobs, and a lot of swearing, but this is just modern day Eddie Murphy, neutered.
Eh, yeah that you mention it.
Her wiki says she was born in 1932.
Vanessa Kirby was born in 1988
Iliza Schelsinger in 1983.
She would've had to have been 51 & 57 years old to give birth to them.
That's wayyyy too old
But for the sake of a great movie, I can just say maybe her wealth allowed her two births in her 40s and ignore the rest of those years, as she did a great job.
Also, they did say that she had aged tremendously in a few months, so maybe she was playing someone significantly younger, who was showing the signs of aging?
Socialist indoctrination?
LMAO, again learn about Social Democracy or Democratic Socialism and THEN get back to me, hun.
Oh & turn off the Fox News or Newsmax or whatever, too. It'll do you some good
Man, I bet you really thought you were saying something profound with that dumb ass statement.
Learn about social democracy and THEN get back to us, hun.
The fact that you say "victim" instead of "accuser" is the problem.
It completely takes burden of proof or a thing called "innocent until proven guilty" into account.
We don't just believe anyone making an accusation in any other crime but this one? Really?
"None of the men were shown as evil?"
Really?
They mostly all seemed pretty evil to me.
Adam Brody, Sam Richardson, McLovin, all the guys she went to school with, are all either rapists, or seem to be completely fine with it.
Even the "nice" guy turned out to be evil.
I guess her poor doddering father, who's just impotent is the only main guy who isn't either a rapist or a rape apologist.
And of course, anyone who argues that people have to take personal responsibility or that there are 2 sides to every story is automatically evil.
The subtext being that we all have to believe any woman who makes an allegation regardless of the evidence (or lack thereof) or we are too, evil.
It justifies the main character kidnapping the daughter of one of the authority figures and then implying that her daughter is going to be raped as an adequate punishment for just not believing the main character's friend just because she made an allegation in college like 12 years ago.
It's just so unrealistic & petty for again something that happened to a friend of hers, not her herself.
Well, you're wrong.
If you haven't seen it, how do you know?
What do you mean "these films"?
Oh, you mean films made by black people
Great. So stay ignorant and talking out of your ass.
Yeah, you obviously didn't watch the movie.
