To save others the click, it's on Amazon Prime Video

LOL, it's not free if you've gotta pay $139 a year to be a member

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By that logic, none of the streaming sites are free.

True but there is tubi and other ad supported platforms

Plus I watched this movie on peacock 2 months ago, so it's not exactly a timely announcement

For the record, I enjoyed it. It was what it set out to be, nothing more. Solid 6/10

Probably 'free' with ads too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, it doesn't have ads. It's prime, they already have trouble getting people to watch their stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's been a while since I watched anything on prime, but last I checked there are unskippable ads on prime

It just came out this year, it’s not a cult hit.

Fun movie though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How long does it take for something to be a cult hit?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Dunno, maybe we could start a cult for making bears addicts, so we can replicate it with unsuspecting hikers. Also watch the movie sometimes .

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like a year or two’s gotta pass before something can be considered a cult hit, and I feel like this movie just doesn’t have enough of a cult behind it yet.

I think the UFC wanted it to be a cult comedy hit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I dunno why the movie going public was disappointed.

This movie delivered exactly what it promised. If you watched this movie after seeing a trailer for it and somehow found yourself disappointed, I don't really know what to tell you. I feel like it fucking delivered on everything it promised.

Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece, occasionally something can just be stupid fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ugh. It's neither cult nor a hit.

Elizabeth Banks is a great comedic actor, but she's a terrible director. This movie is absolute proof.

It was a big swing on her part, and she deserves credit for taking that swing, but it was just a mediocre movie.
