I know it’s $19 to stream it but it looks like a great movie.

Wife wanted to watch it today. $19 was too steep. Watched Knives Out instead.

I enjoyed it.

Knives out is one of the more enjoyable movie experiences I’ve had in a while. Just a fun arse movie

Why do you think its important to stop in the middle of a movie and write a post on a message board?

Do you think your opinion matters that much? Thats why twitter is a thing.

Oh yes. I think my opinion is very important and must be heard. Move along, peasant.

I've been waiting to see what some folks think about it before diving in. I'm not exactly convinced by the commercials I've seen. But don't want to write it off entirely if it ends up being decent.

Yeah I'd say overall it was a pretty solid movie. Typical for some of Apatow's films, there was 10-15 mins that dragged (particularly early). But outside of that it's got some good laughs and is enjoyable.

I thought Davidson did a great job, and Burr and Buscemi were fantastic as always.

Nandor is the only king of Staten Island. Anyone else is a pretender.

I imagine losing your dad that way at a young age has terrible consequences. Especially not growing up w a man in your life to learn from.

Supposedly, this movie was presented as a way for him to actually talk about and do something with that experience besides making cheap shock jokes about it.

I just finished it, and anyone thinking this is a straight comedy should be warned, because it's not. Yes, there are a couple funny moments, but it's really a drama.

It actually reminded me a lot of indie and lower budget movies about relationships and interaction from 15-20 yrs ago like The Station Agent.

The cast is good. Burr is really good. It's worth watching. It's just a movie about people in a world where not too many of those are made anymore.

I don't know how much range Davidson has an actor and how many roles he can play but this was defiently his wheelhouse with so much bleeding into his real life.

Seemed pretty obvious it wasn’t going to be that
