Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

      I really enjoyed this movie but I also really enjoyed how you phrased this comment

      I watched that movie way too young(maybe 6ish?) and all I remember(warning: spoilers for a movie from 1992)was the mom dying and them lighting the house on fire because she was too large to move.

      That movie was not for children. I cannot say whether it was good, since I only watched it the one time, but I wasn’t a fan of it either. I’m unsure of how valid my opinion on it is though given the circumstances.

        That’s the right movie; it’s basically about a family that sucks but you’ve got to do what you have to, most of the characters are miserable and/or irritating and I don’t comprehend the recreational use of this film.
