i didn’t want to watch it because everybody on the Fediverse loves it so expected it to be extremely bad … but it wasn’t THAT bad …
the plot is slightly improbable but it’s really besides the point
it’s ultimately about a white guy who works in STEM and his life falls apart …
which is why the folks on Fediverse can relate to him because they are white guys in STEM except of course they never had a life to begin with …
from that perspective that movie works, but there is also a lot of cheese in it that is pretty cringe and belongs in Eddie Murphy movie or something …
and yet on the other side again it IS a cult classic …
yes i recommend watching it, not because it is good ( it is only OKAY ) but because it is important in the sense that INCELS relate to it … even though INCELS were not a thing yet in the days the movie was shot but that doesn’t mean there were not people profoundly dissatisfied with life …
3.5 stars
the movie is OKAY
