This is probably the biggest difference with how I felt about a movie at the beginning versus the end. It starts off with a really funny scene that made me burst out laughing. That scene told me what I was in for, a raunchy and crass R-rated comedy that holds nothing back. I was excited since we barely ever get those movies any more.
As it goes on, the comedy gets weaker. A lot of it feels completely forced. So much of the comedy arises from contrived situations that make no sense. Some scenes are there for no other reason than shock factor and are otherwise unfunny.
It becomes dumber and dumber until the word "dumb" isn't strong enough to describe it. And the comedic situations only happen because of this moronic writing. But I can still enjoy a comedy if it's unrealistic...
Unfortunately this movie is barely a comedy during the last act. They lean heavily on the drama side. It's so cheesy and forced, accompanied by sappy music. Even worse, it's all so predictable. A character says, "don't tell her I might move to LA." Can you guess what happens later in the movie???
But the single worst part about this movie is a character named Deadeye, whose over-the-top goofy comedic attempts are super cringe-y. It's shockingly bad.
I don't take pleasure in trashing this movie. I wanted to like it. And with comedy movies becoming so rare, I'm thirsty for anything I can get. But it has to be better than this. (1 viewing, early fan screening 7/5/2023)
