“Why are you walking around with shit in your hands?”
I clicked on the Netflix recommendations after watching Fanfic, which I quite liked. I was expecting more lgbtq+ content, so I mistook the 2000s blond hair boy look on the poster for something else. This is not that, but, hey, it’s still a cute romance. Until it’s not. This turns serious at the end, but it’s really cute before that. I guess their literally shitty meet cute should have indicated…
So many lives with so many loves.
So many people suffering without a buddy.
Cry, because it’s a tragedy.
But also act, because it should not happen like this.
We can do better.
Well, I had fun. The others in the theater had even more fun. It’s a fun movie. Be ready for the camp. Embrace it.
Lots of little touches in this raise it above the level of cheap parody. It feels rewatchable and rewarding.
Does it steal a lot of jokes from Airplane!? Absolutely. But it basically transgresses the parody genre. That’s its whole thing. How do you outdo a storm? With a stormaganza, of course.
RuPaul as POTUS is great. Love the scenes in the Oval Office and the entry onto the train.
“When are you gonna talk to us?”
POV of a family looking up at their boy from the bottom of an unfinished bunker. It’s a good shot, so they show it multiple times. Does anything happen though? Not really.
Poorly put together, much like a Subway sandwich.
I avoided almost all information about this one and I’m so thankful I did. The narrative develops in such a progressive way, giving bits of foreshadowing and flashbacks as needed, but always keeping you on your toes as well. I was lulled into complacent elation—a sense that is discussed quite profoundly in the mid-credits scene that I’m sad so many in my audience missed. Definitely stay for the post-credits musical number as well.
I love the soundscape of this film…
