A Guide To Idiocy

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2018)

I was really excited to watch this movie. John Krazinski and Emily Blunt are amazing actors, but their characters made me so mad! I was already mad within the first 5 minutes of the movie. Their youngest gets killed not even 20 minutes in. Why? Because his mother didn't bother holding his hand and walking WITH him. Instead, the boy is like a mile behind everyone and turns on a toy airplane that the dad had recently taken out the batteries to in which he left in plain sight. Instead of the parents grabbing him, they walked out of the store without him. His older sister felt bad and gave him the airplane without the batteries, but like her parents walked out without him and again leaving the batteries in plain sight. Don't get me wrong, the older sister is in no way responsible for her younger brother; the parents are, but come on now! It's common sense. It's like if I leave a cupcake in the same room as my child and leave the room expecting her not to eat it. This movie did nothing but get me mad. Oh, and let's not forget, the mom gets pregnant DURING THE APOCALYPSE. Like, SERIOUSLY?! You can't even wear shoes because they make too much noise, but you manage to get pregnant?! I'm surprised these morons survived as long as they did. They constantly leave their children unattended, yet cry because they "can't protect them." It's the apocalypse, so death is inevitable, but I'm sure they can do a better job at protecting them but FAIL to do so because they're horrible parents. I hate this movie. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the impeccable acting.
