The Menu (Mark Mylod, Nov. 18, 2022) Movie • Page 2

This was a really good time

 

yes, this movie was so fun

 

This ruled

 

the John Leguizamo reveal was incredible

 

lololol

 

This was good!

 

Had a good time watching this despite a terrible audience

 

I absolutely loved this thing. Just… delightful.

Really wanna get a good cheeseburger now.

 

my main takeaway from this was how good smashburgers can be

 

This was,,,DELICIOUS!!

But no, for real it was up there with Top Gun as the most fun I’ve had watching a movie this year. My only gripe is the absolutely unforgivable anti-s’mores rhetoric

 

Loved it.

I kinda wanted it to go more kill bill / ready or not but that’s ok too
pretty incredible performances

particularly good sound mixing with all the chatter coming in and out of the different people in the first half

 

You mean the reason he was there?

 

There was something incredibly beautiful and moving about the cheeseburger sequence.

 

Yes

 

yeah i like how flippant/unjustified they were about some of the choices.

the only thing i didn't love was the inclusion of the mom. seems like that was just a kind of throw in with not enough background actually given

 

I liked her being there. They cut to her just enough for her reactions to add to the mood, without being too distracting. Sometimes she helped contribute to the uneasy atmosphere, and other times she just seemed over all that shit (like, the shit of being alive).

 

i don't mean she shouldn't have been in the movie, i'm saying she should have been fleshed out more

 

Fair enough. I personally think the mystery around her was largely effective and would've been lessened by knowing too much. But, I can see how one would think there's more meat on that story bone worth exploring.

 

The second this ended my friends all turned to each other and said burgers? Burgers. Pretty entertaining over all. Like the perfect 3/5 movie.

 

This was a ton of fun. Really loved it.

 

wow would you look at that I’m correct again!

 

That also leads me to say that that trailer was great. Clearly makes it seem obvious what the plot is but you’d be wrong!

 

I was so relieved when it wasn’t a Most Dangerous Game thing

 

I wasn’t a part of the original conversation, but I didn’t think the trailer was that big of a mislead haha. Like this wound up being pretty much exactly what I expected it to be based on the trailer, maybe save for there not being any cannibalism. Doesn’t make it a bad trailer or anything, no complaints from me, but comparing it to the Barbarian reveal is a stretch imo

 

Some fun facts prior to scheduling conflicts
Emma Stone was originally gonna play Margo
The john Leguizamo part was originally Daniel Radcliffe playing himself
Alexander Payne was the original director
