Sonic the Hedgehog
For the last 3ish weeks I changed all my dating app bios to search not for love, not for a hookup but to find someone to go to this movie with. The results are that I've seen this movie 4 times on 4 separate dates. It started as a joke after all my friends turned me down because this movie happened to open on Valentines' Day (or because everything in the lead up to release suggested that this was not worth the time or money... who knows?). 233
I wish this was the genesis (get it?) for some grand love story but it's not. Trust me I wish it was because few things would give me as much joy as telling the world that I met the love of my life in a movie where <PERSON> dances multiple times and makes terrible puns
Beyond the desire to find someone that you can have these long stimulating conversations on art and life like a real-life version of Before Sunrise with and arguably equally important is the ability to laugh and appreciate the imperfection of it all. Sonic the Movie is as flawed as they come yet perhaps disappointingly not so flawed that it becomes a great meme movie in the vein of The Room or The Snowman. What it is, however, is a dumb fun time at the movies and a surprisingly good date movie. 292
