POSITIVES
Irreverent comedy about making a movie in a quarantine bubble during a pandemic. You down for all the meta?
It's unflattering perspective on entertainers and the entertainment industry is very amusing. I'm pretty sure you'll at least either chuckle at some of the references.
Kudos to the ensemble cast (and all the cameo) for just making an effort with the roles given to them. Some of them even excel at it. Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Samson Kayo, Peter Serafinowicz, Harry Trevaldwyn, Guz Khan, Keegan-Michael Key, Pedro Pascal, Nick Donald, plus several more.
There are several entertaining montages here. Those fun footage from Cliff Beasts 6. Especially that one scene where they are climbing a cliff. That chain of command Zoom call. Movie actually does have some enjoyable scenes to check out.
Best aspect of this movie is its acknowledgement of the non-entertainment crew and assistants in how they deal with the actors. Wished the movie was more on that actually.
NEGATIVES
augh! Another movie that heavily acknowledges the pandemic. Maybe it's too soon to be laughing at jokes surrounding that subject?
At a certain point, you're probably going to get exhausted with how self-aware this movie is with its satirical nature to the premise. Cringe. So much cringe.
I get that TikTok is relevant and all, but damn did I not find those social media scenes entertaining.
The moments that refer to the real world issues seem too much like throwaway performative additions to the narrative. I mean. I mean why bother then?
Watching this movie on Netflix, at one point I noticed that I'm not half way through it yet, and I'm all "I'M NOT HALF WAY THROUGH THIS YET??!!!"
