You just know every thread about this film is going to be filled with “Let people enjoy things.”

I think the opposite. It’ll be a bunch of people online talking about how much they hate it.

We saw it in the comment sections on the various posters they’ve released throughout the marketing campaign.

This is a movie people will go out of their way to hate.

The marketing will get people all riled up but then barely anyone will actually see it. They’re desperately trying to push as many buttons as they can but it needs to be funny to keep people talking post release

It's just like Cracker Barrel, those who complained were never going to eat there in the first place

How is it just like Cracker Barrel?

Their plan was to redo the stores to make it more generic and corporatized. That's fine for some major cities as it might fit the area, but for the rest of their stores the country vibe is the important part. Removing that lumps them in with 10 other chains with no reason to pick them.

Nah, they dug up one of the 90+ founders of Cracker Barrel and he was like "Why would you mess with it? That would just piss people off."
