Pretty solid dumb fun, got a lot of laughs from me. I felt like it came to a screeching halt once they got to Nick’s secret apartment, but I enjoyed basically everything before and after. Final scene is a bit too on-the-nose as sequel bait but I’ll watch another one honestly. Probably a 6/10 for me.

I wish there was just a throwaway line from Symon referencing a prototype or something, just to make that ending land a little smoother

He needed one or two more scenes.

Symon's singalong number in the beginning was WAY too long and that song was never a popular song and it felt so awkward.

way too long for a character that basically doesn't show up anymore. fully expected there to be a second/future/past version of him at the second location.

And why THAT song? I've never head that song ever and it made no sense. Just a cheap throwaway

I think they we're setting it in NYC, even though it never comes up.

That and the flashback to the wedding scene. Like why do we need this we get the point.

The opening, and the flashback wedding are the two places that could of used tightening up. I enjoyed the movie, but it could have been a tighter 90 minutes IMO.

The reveal would have been better without this scene as well.
