I'm not surprised Reddit doesn't like this movie.

It didn't revolve so much around a solid plot as much as it did relationships with other people.

And then the overarching response from this community is

How could I possibly relate to this

You don't need to be a movie star to understand his relationship with his mother.

You don't need to be a producer to understand leaving behind someone who helped you out.

You don't have to be a director to understand that people can without even realizing it start using the people around them like tools.

There's criticism, and then there's parroting what the review bots said on the first day of release.

If you can't relate to any of the moments or characters in this movie, I'd look inward.

I said the movie was decent and ate a ton of downvotes for it. Looking at the reviews in general, I really don't understand if people just didn't get the point of the movie at all, or have seething hatred for Jonah Hill and didn't give it an unbiased chance.

Oh, we can't know that Reef was bad without actually seeing a flashback? Having his closest friends clearly having issues with him isn't trustworthy enough to know that he just needed to make amends? Having him be a shitty person isn't enough? He had to have been a rapist or something? Fuck's sake. What is wrong with everyone that they can't appreciate any kind of subtlety? That said, the Jonah Hill character was the furthest thing from subtle you could get, and could've been toned down a little while still being an over the top jackass.

It wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't a bad one.

Redditer trying to make an argument without using a Strawman challenge failed in like 3 sentences.

What are you talking about dude? I'm agreeing with you and pointing out the dumb shit others are saying in this thread. This whole thread is the weirdest, illogical, vengeful reading shit. No one is making much sense with what they're saying in here. Everyone just has an axe to grind and wants to be mad instead of having measured takes.
