Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
