You are worth it
Problem solver - well sort of and sort of not. So no pun intended - I got lucky catching this at a sneak preview in cinemas. A movie that is quite ... well inspirational and really feeds into your brain and your fantasy. It also is giving you social commentary and might be able to push you - because you may not think of feel it, but you too can be and become what you want to.
You just have to change your behavior and demeanor ... I am obviously kind of kidding, but there still is some truth to this. The acting is superb - the script is just amazing! The ideas super funny. I am not sure what inspiration the actor had for his main character walk, but you won't forget it.
Hitting your over the egg with it ... I mean head. But you catch my drift. Humor is weird and strange in the best way possible. Watch it if you can - let your imagination run wild. - prberg2 - 27 March 2024
Really funny and great performances.
Really enjoyed this movie. It really takes a good look at life and shows how some aspects are so absurd if we really look at them. It had great humor and some really enjoyable moments between the characters. Actors and performances were really great too. There were a few scenes that I felt didn't work all that well and took me out of the story a bit, but overall is was really fun and I'm glad I was able to see it. Just funny and uplifting.. with personal challenges along the way. Visual style was unique and interesting. Did feel like a cable indie TV show sometimes.. but that worked with the style of the movie. I look forward to seeing more work from Julio Torres.
