not as good

 

I honestly did not know there were 3 Harold and Kumar movies.

 

The Jumanji reboot was actually good, I agree.

 

I've only watched the Christmas Harold & Kumar movie

 

Popstar is the second coming of Spinal Tap

 

I guess my unpopular opinion is that Popstar is horrible. I like everyone involved but I found it awfully unfunny and a slog to get through.

 

The Lighthouse is hilarious.

 

It’s a fantastic black comedy

 

I thought the Jumanji reboot had good elements but was horribly executed as it turned out to be shallow and boring.

 

I miss R-rated studio comedies, they've like totally died over the last few years. Last one I even remember seeing in theaters was Tag, which I actually liked quite a bit but still

 

It is really bad. Just an excuse to hang out with celebrities.

 

Good description. The humor is “rapping granny” level bad.

 

Welp, two people blocked

 

I think the songs were an excuse to make the movie. I like the songs quite a bit, but I don't think the movie works all the time. Definitely not their best.

 

I’m pretty sure if a studio comedy comes out now, it’s guaranteed to be rated R, minus the “Jumanji” films. Personally, I kind of miss PG-13 comedies, it’s why I felt like “Always Be My Maybe” was kind of refreshing.

 

To the Popstar haters:

 

The TMZ scenes are 10/10 gold but everything else is painful.

 

I said I like the songs haha

 

The bee scene in Popstar alone makes it GOAT.

 

Popstar is the worst Lonely Island film but still great

 

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I've been thinking about it lately: there are very few films that are both really good and have Meryl Streep as the primary role. It's either one or the other. Adaptation, Little Women, Deer Hunter, etc -- all great, but I don't think anyone would say that Streep is the driving force of the film. The one exception I can think of is Doubt, but even that is helped by PSH and several others killing it as well

 

Sophie's Choice, A Cry in the Dark, The Bridges of Madison County, Ricki and the Flash, and Postcards from the Edge are all very good to excellent.

And I guess she's part of the ensemble, but A Prairie Home Companion is a masterpiece.

 

I got heavily downvoted on Reddit once for calling Pop Star the best movie of 2016 lol

I stand by it

 

I mean Moonlight and Arrival came out that year.

 

And Paterson, right? It was a great year
