My favorite anecdote about the show was a second hand story about Chris Farley. He had a crush on an actress that Reynolds was dating and tried to get a couple of friends in on a plan to beat up RR.

I watched this earlier today. It was ok. Some of the Navy stuff being completely wrong was irritating, but that's expected with movies.

He's the poster child for millennial writing. Being exposed as power hungry giga douche has sealed his fate with me.

Really easy, enjoyable movie to watch. Nothing to write home about but fun and funny with good action sequences.

Although RR’s reaction to Branagh’s daughter would not have been that in the 80s, was still fine. A bit shoehorned, but fine and didn’t take anything away from the rest of the story.

It was… okay. But Ryan is playing Desdpool in everything now. Which is a shame because he does have enough acting chops to not resort to thst shite in every role.

Light hearted and very predictable but I did enjoy. Favorite line to me was
Colonel Sanders.

Yeah a bunch of buzzkills in this thread lol.

Three generations men and women here in town and we watched it tonight and all loved it. Laugh out loud funny at parts (the closet scene ), great action (Wick style fights and a nuke chase ), and a really good heart without being too preachy, it all worked great.

80s soundtrack was awesome as well.

Great Friday night flick. “It tastes like America”

The kid staring at him at the dinner table was hilarious.

And yeah about Branagh being the next action star, I hadn’t seen any previews so when that first fight broke out I lost my shite

Did the hospital scene of him rolling his dad down the hallway make it into the final cut?

It's flipped. His dad is rolling him in a wheelchair, jokingly.

I’ve always been a David Morse fan, hope he was a good dude. Always enjoy seeing him in roles.

Even if he did wipe out 99% of the population

He seemed like it ... wasn't in the best shape health wise, but jovial. In spite of all the talk about RR, in my brief exposure, he was cool. Then again, it was an eight hour day in an old NYC hospital on a crisp November day. He probably made a half a million for the easy additional photography.

Watched this last night and actually enjoyed it. Branagh & Reynolds played really well off each other. Branagh delivered some funny lines. I’d recommend it to someone looking for something to watch.
