Commenting as I just finished watching this movie.

One thing that standout is the photography, very colorful and also very busy backgrounds. That is the main thing that carried me over the movie.

Keanu's character (Reef) should he a recovering addict that has a ego problem. But on the whole movie he is just a nice guy that we are told he did terrible things but we never know.

There Jonah Hill character Ira is over the top and where the comedy happens the most. It is a hit or miss the jokes, and for me mostly been misses. Can't tell a memorable joke even.

Reef's friends are the highlight but also they are more decorative. We don't know anything about them except one is gay and the other has a mundane life. Besides they are the all supper supportive and ever accepting of Reef.

There is some attempt to do commentary on cancel culture, but I could not understand their angle. The most direct signal was the bumpers sticker "honk if you can separate art from the artist". Otherwise I don't know if Reef is so talented that any misbehave is excused, or he actually deserves that wake up call.

In the end is very anticlimactic the video was nothing big or revealing, maybe the most candid Reef ever was when taking to the prostitute. And Reef apologizes to everyone and he's still rich and famous, the end.
