Straight from the Patreon catacombs comes another movie review! Well, less review so much as Joel ranting to Naomi for an hour about his disdain for David Russell's 2012 film. There's a reason for that though - Naomi could not sit through it and forced her kindly older brother to shoulder the burden.
The Guy siblings break down their issues with a highly-regarded and highly-lauded rom-com, ranging from nonsensical plot points to poor representations of mental health to weird casting decisions to a creepy director who needs to be MeToo'd out of the industry. Joel also talks about ways one could improve the film with even just mild tweaks, in a section screenwriters and Hollywood executives will probably reference for years to come.
All credit to the Weinstein Company (yeah, that Weinstein company) for use of their poster and audio clips from the film.
All credit to Gaumont for the clip from the Fifth Element.
