My wife wanted to watch this so we tried it and it was absolutely hilarious and I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely laughed throughout and actually really enjoyed it. Gosling makes the movie in my opinion; he's hysterical. There's obviously the overarching political and social commentary but I didn't mind it and frankly didn't pay much attention to it. It's a silly, hilarious movie if you don't take it too seriously. There are many really bad "effects" where it's done on purpose and it made me laugh. Not sure if the filmmakers meant it to be as funny as I took it but I enjoyed it that way nonetheless.
