Very good story but sloppy TRITE film making

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2019)

"Show don't tell" has never been spike's strong suit. This movie is basically a series of scenes where characters walk or sit and explain why they are going to do something or what's going to happen next or how they feel. It overly relies on movie tropes and stereotypes, has many many errors in the screenplay and the internal logic of the film, unresolved plot lines, and overall sloppy and confused messaging. OH yeah and he using DUTCH ANGLES(!) to show his protagonists skewed position in reality! That's been trite and made fun of in comedies for 30 years. Such sloppy and cheap film making. But the story is really good, if only they could've gotten better screenwriters/cinematographer/script supervisors. And the score is one piece of music played about 18 times and there's a song that's from 2006 in the film that characters are supposed to be listening to on the radio, as if we can't tell it's not from the 70's.
