An average movie

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 26 May 2021 10:02

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since it was available on Neftlix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, as expected, it turned out to be one of the weakest movies I have seen released this year (2021) but it’s too bad because the opening scene actually had some potential. Indeed, I really liked these 2 girls who bonded together and there was something really neat and genuine about their relationship. Unfortunately, it was pretty much the only thing that worked in this movie and, to make things worse, they broke this relationship almost right from the start which was, in my opinion, a huge mistake. It’s not that the concept was really bad (it was still hardly original though), it was more that the whole thing was just so flat and unfunny. Indeed, Melissa McCarthy basically played her typical foul-mouthed (slightly less) fat dim-witted woman, a role which did manage to launch her career at some point, but she has done this gimmick too many times by now and it did outstay its welcome a long time ago already. Concerning Octavia Spencer, she was basically given nothing to do except looking annoyed at McCarthy’s character’s antics so she was pretty much wasted here. Concerning the rest of the cast, Pom Klementieff had some fun playing a bloodthirsty villain but her character was terribly one-note. Same thing for Bobby Cannavale who was such a stereotypical and boring bad guy. Eventually, the only one who managed to do something slightly more interesting was Jason Bateman who played one of the weirdest super-heroes ever but, even in his case, this character was still barely developed whatsoever. Anyway, to conclude, the damned thing was pretty much a waste of time for all the people involved and you should probably avoid it.
