That is rare. Well, I often laugh at the movie, but this time I definitely laughed with the movie, which happens only once every blue moon.
For context, I'm not the biggest fan of Richard Linklater. I generally find his movies to be okay at best, but this one I did really like. We have a nerdy main character I can definitely relate to as a fellow nerd and a fellow educator.
I did not really know who Glen Powell was before this. I had seen some movies he has a role in, but as he has been more of a character actor, I wasn't really aware of him. Here, he can kind of use that. He is supposed to be forgettable and learn to be something else.
Powell also co-wrote the movie, his first feature as the writer. The story is nothing special. It's kind of obvious after the premises, but it does work nicely as something to hang all these jokes on.
It doesn't really fall into copaganda either, which is a rarity.
