    Let Down By A Weak Script

    Isn’t it a standard now? When was the last time we got a movie with a “wow” script?

      I just watched Friendship this weekend and i thought it was fantastic with excellent writing. Same with Bring Her Back. I wonder what those have in common…

        I wanna watch Friendship, but there’s something about it that’s keeping me from watching it. Like I feel like there’s gonna be some insane twist that turns it from a dark comedy to straight-up horror or something.

          It’s brilliant, and i promise that nothing totally sinister happens. That being said, it’s like all the cringiest episodes of the office all rolled into one.

            I figured there was plenty of cringe with Tim Robinson

            Which, can I just say that I’m happy for him. Like he was just a writer on SNL, then was a cast member, then created his own pretty successful Netflix sketch show, and now he’s onto movies.

      Wow scripts are risky and thus bad for Hollywood. You should put yourself in their shoes and understand how difficult it must be for them
