Don't Look Up (2021)
Boring & farcical. Over the top.
Only laughed once, at the end of the movie.
Definitely not a satire, but a farce. Way over the top characters and caricatures.
If there was supposed to be a message, it is nearly lost in the absurdity of the script.
Main vibes I'm getting from this movie were Trump and Covid, and big tech/social media. All real world problems, but blown up to such ridiculous proportions that nothing can be taken seriously in this movie.
A bit of restraint could have done wonders for this movie.
Hard to believe this comes from the director who made The Big Short. Go watch that one instead.
Naked (2017)
Watch Groundhog day or Edge of Tomorrow instead
Same basic principle, inferior execution.
I could see this movie being mildly entertaining for kids (teens at best), but it's too dumb for adults.
Marlon Wayans is playing the same role as he did in the Wayans Brothers, this is a pity, he seems to be a talented actor but stays too much in his comfort zone. Tiring to see the same old attempts at humor. I like Marlon the most when he's not trying to be funny.
The only refreshing thing about the movie is that they changed the time limit to 1 hour instead of 24 hours.
Might have laughed one time during the whole movie (at most). Avoid, unless you're into masochism.
