Weird. Weird tone. I wish it started out as weird as it ended up becoming so I could’ve mentally prepared but instead I got hooked in the beginning for what seemed like it would be good and then it absolutely took a nosedive into the ground and now I’m covered in dirt and soil because I have to watch everything to the end. Bad. Can only compare this to my viewing of I heart huckabees which I also hated.

Really uncomfortable watch! For a supposed comedy this movie just gave me anxiety and made me feel bad every time I had to watch Michael Shannon mumble out apologies and excuses after accidentally offending someone #empath
