Fun Movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2017)

Several things to like about this one. 1. How it approached a sensitive subject was both directly honest and at times unexpectedly (by viewer, but of course by design) funny. 2. Actors well chosen and their performances almost too real to the point of weird- scary. You just don't know what secretly lurks behind those smiles. 3. You know something is not quite right and the writer/director did a nice job of building into "how-not-right-it-was". 4. Rod our TSA agent, and friend to Chris, our lead protagonist, was a highlight bonus, offering a humorous perspective (a role where usually the confidant ends up being either clueless, incompetent, or dead) . Check out his end-of-film worldly advices (sp) to Chris in special features. 5. I preferred the ending that our director chose vs. the alternate ending as it was consistent with Chris's intelligence and personality.
