This was one of the best comedies I've seen in quite a long time. It really does feel like it threw away everything that films coming out in 2024 have to do, in terms of keeping everyone happy and just did it's own thing.
This doesn't feel rebellious or pandering at all. It isnt making a political statement, of any kind, against anything "woke" or trying to stay in a particular lane. It just tells its story the way it wants to tell it because they knew that this is the only way to be genuine.
It follows a typical formula of two friend's rise, until the inevitable conflict, before bringing them back together but it doesn't feel tired, it beams of nostalgia but also keeps things fresh.
There isn't anything unenjoyable about this film at all. I really liked it and will probably watch it again.
The only things I would say are that it does feel a little unnecessarily long at just under 2 hours. They could have easily trimmed 20 mins off this and some of the decisions made by some of the characters were clearly written to further the plot and felt a little jarring and convenient but other than that, I would highly reccomend this to anyone who misses the comedies of the 90s.
