A Happening of Monumental Proportions

I think I laughed 3 times in the entire movie. Also, Keanu Reaves is the first actor listed in this app and he's in the movie for all of 5 minutes. I remember when comedies used to be funny.

One look at the cast and it's just amazing that all these people agreed to do this monumentally stupid film. They must have REALLY been hurting for work during the pandemic? Dunno. I RARELY write reviews but this one was such a waste of time, waste of talent, waste, waste, waste...

Not exactly what one was expecting but it turned out to have this touching thing going on in the interface between the child and adult worlds - for me anyway. The disappointed user reviews suggest the film was marketed wrongly as another gross-out caper, which it only sort of is. OK some scenes are a bit awkward and off-beat, but actually consider it a dark comedy drama dealt out with a deft and light touch. I enjoyed the rich photography of the edge of city school location especially the glowing finale, the heart warming pop soundtrack, and the actors of all ages are great with quirky characters to match. Give it a break dissing it and let others have a try -- or is urbanity and optimism now so really out of fashion?

What a weird show. The casting director must've called in every favor they had. The problem this was not the direction or the acting. It was the story. With better writing this could've actually been OK. Instead, I kept wondering why the writer wrote what he wrote. After having watched the movie, I still can't figure it out. There was no point to it. I should've believed the reviews.

Most of the actors in this did a decent job. Katie Holmes's part was kind of a waste. She must really like Judy Greer or something.

But the star of the show was the casting Director. I can't think of any other reason why all of these good actors were in this.

This is not horror,thriller,romance,drama,sci-fi,musical or comedy, its just a bunch of actors that are usually above average standard in the art of acting, clinging to a ozone layer thin storyline about stupid teachers, a dead man,a lottery ticket,a damaged coffee machine,dultrey and adultry and soforth. its just a mess of a screenwriters decline toward alzheimer because it shows all the signs of a demented person. this comedy didnt even make me smile,it didnt even engage a braincell which ive got tens/tons of,a motheaten product of nothing. i give 2 because of the children.
