“We’re not like those Forrest Gump inspired uplifting dramas, we’re the cool Forrest Gump inspired uplifting drama”
I feel like this movie leans into tear jerking schmaltz while also trying to avoid it at all costs and sometimes that works wonderfully (Karen Gillan, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew Lillard, Mark Hamill) and sometimes it extremely does not (the ending and sorry but Nick Offerman). Parts feel so smug and full of itself.
I think overall it’s fine but not great and does…
