This episode was a throwback to classic Sunny.
They took a pertinent real world issue and gave it the IASIP treatment. But they also kept it simple. No wacky too-over-the-top shenanigans; no ridiculous characters; no absurd, unbelievable, unrealistic events. Just good character dynamics/ interaction.
To be brutally objective, it probably wasn't as excellent as the best seasons of IASIP. But that is a pretty high standard to achieve. And overall it was a solid episode that is leaps and bounds better than the dross that the recent seasons have served up.
If the rest of the season is this good this could be an IASIP revival!

Hollywood, bereft of any originality, is scraping the barrel of semi-interesting "nostalgia" products/ fads to use to churn a halfhearted film out, see Tetris, Air, Dungeons and Dragons, etc.
Technically there is nothing too wrong with this film. Things happen, there's some jokes, and it tells a story. However, the whole affair feels soulless. There's nothing new here - unruly nerds out of water in a corporate world; some corporate backstabbing etc. Etc.
This is a generic film that has likely been made because something had to be. You'll watch it, be mildly entertained, and then forget about it for the rest of your life.

While this is certainly a 90ish minute movie with characters, setting, plot, and decent cinematography, it feels empty and soulless.
The plot is incredibly basic, the setting a rehash of X, and the script completely generic. It's all just so bland.
It almost feels like cut material (backstory) from X turned into a full length movie.
Overall there is no one thing that is actually wrong with the film, but strangely this is the most egregious part of the whole affair. The film is a hollow, lackluster, and average sequel to a similarly average film. Yet for some reason the two are being heralded as some excellent piece of cinematic history.
It makes one weep for the future of films when this "going-through-the-motions" colour by numbers schlock is touted as a quality film.
