You are part of the problem.

DrenDran:

I think some people were hoping for a "so bad it's good" kind of film, but those are really only possible with indie productions. This is a multi-million dollar film.

Also:

--- Quote ---While Leondis, who is gay, has stated he intends this as an allegory for the tribulations faced by the non-heteroloveual community, any social commentary is stymied by the execution. The film’s insistent feel-goodery and occasional nods to feminism (delivered by a spunky blue-haired hacker emoji, voiced by Anna Faris) ring false. Product-placement mashups Toy Story and The Lego Movie had the purity of playtime to seal in the sentimentality; somehow it’s not as endearing in a film built around the apps we use to kill time while sat on the toilet.

I love how feminism is basically reduced to a necessary ingredient for making a film. In doing so any actual political message has been pretty much removed.

HellHound:

what a wonderful cinematic masterpiece. it moved me to tears, and gave me a new outlook on life. definitely a movie worth watching several times.
