So, it's a show that centers around terrible people - narcissistic sociopaths. They all have zero redeeming qualities, I find it hard to get into a show when you can't identify or empathize with any of the characters at all.

I could still get into it with abysmal characters IF it was really funny, but I find myself rarely laughing or even smiling. It tends to leave me cringy, when I'm looking for comedy to be uplifting. It's just terrible people doing terrible things. There's a few episodes here and there that are better than others, but that's about the best I can say.

I've loved Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney in other things, « Horrible Bosses » and « Mythic Quest » are both much better use of the actors (and as writers!). I love Charlie and Rob's writing in the latter, but they don't win much with me in 'It's Always Sunny...'

The movie tries to set the atmosphere very specifically and hard. All I'll grant is it was mostly "unique". We see and hear almost nothing of the characters, the movie is composed mainly of (slow), grainy camera pans. You spend a great deal of time looking at inanimate objects, floors and walls. I would suppose it's trying to set a tone of nostalgia and present "horrors" from the perspective of children, but mostly nothing happens. The pace is so exceeding slow and there's so much nothing between momentary somethings it's hard to find reason to pay attention. What dialogue exists is drawn out, do we really need a 30 second plus gap between EVERY response time?

Some creepy and eerie elements for sure, but so much mind-numbing NOTHING between actual content does the movie no favours. With a little more goings on or some time trimming, a more engaging pace might have been accomplished.

Very hard to watch and does not live up to the hype. Would not recommend, couldn't wait for it to be over, would never sit through it again. Felt I had to finish to make sure there's no big payoff to this time sucker, rest assured there isn't. It could've had some creepy, standing-in-corner Blair Witch flair scare to it but it just couldn't get there. Extremely disappointing.

I don't understand why this isn't more heard of. I had never heard of it before, found it randomly and somewhat begrudgingly decided to give it five minutes.

At first, the animation was leaning me to picking something else, and the idea that it was different characters every show. But - it draws you in so quickly, it's charming, it's funny, it's ridiculous - but it has depth and heart. The somewhat simple animation doesn't matter, the content is that good. I gave it five minutes and was hooked till the end.

It is different characters each episode, but it's not exactly anthology... you quickly find they circle back to and from, and before long, overlap and intertwine into another.

Weird, hilarious and full of charm. Watch it. Bring it back?! I want so much more!
