Honestly i wanted to throw up at the parts of this film. What was the deal with the boss (Antwan)? They built him up to deadly serious at the start then when he arrives he acts like a 10yr old whos drank 5 cans of redbull through his eyeball and sprouts 80s catchphrases. What person under 30 is gonna get the different strokes quotes he spews out And what person of any age is going to find a guy acting like a kid on a sugar rush funny ? Everytime he was on screen my eyes wanted to roll back into my skull. I read somewhere he improvised his parts, if that's the case he needs to stick to the scripts in future because it was terrible.

Overall this is your typical run of the mill comedy movie plot with gross amounts of pop culture references jammed into it so it appeals to everybody. It has some funny moments but they are quickly forgotten by the countless horrible and cringe worthy ones like the cameos from "youtubers" or antwan.boss guy, It's clearly just a very quick cash grab film as its already dated and it's only just come out.

I'm really not sure who they are trying to appeal this movie to as it takes a shot everyone. But it seems like they mostly take the mick out of its target audience. The gamers . This movie is really only appealing to them but they get made out to be little girls behind the screens and called man boys who live in their moms basements who use a w@@k sock and are constantly insulted all the way through the film.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you

Then there's this off brand message that you shouldn't go round killing NPC's and the "youtubers" and random video clips of people backing it up. Im guessing thats the writers taking a swipe at gta v due to the violence in the game and this is them trying to get a point across ... just like in the parts of the film they are trying to send a message by stating the white male character suffers from his "white male privilege" and all the players have a "toxic male masculinity" mindset ..... why bring your political views or negative views on white men into a film that's supposed to be a comedy for everybody ? Once again i had to sit there and listen to the ramblings of some woke writer ruin the film within the first 15 mins and try to make me feel guilty about my race and sex because they couldn't help but keep their toxic ideas to themselves.

I watch films (especially comedy films ) to escape from the real world and politics or to just brighten my day. Now all i ever hear on films is race baiting catchphrases and shots at white men and how evil they are... Why is this a thing? It's not funny or inspiring or helping a cause ,It's just sickening.

I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody tbh . No teenager will think its funny, just cringy and no person whos not into gaming will find it mildly interesting because the plot is trash. The only people that will enjoy this is ryan reynolds fans who enjoy his quirky sense of humor or little kids who will block out any of the story/plot and just watch it for the visuals and gaming references,..... "look mom ,fortnight".

It could have been a good and funny film if done right but it fails hard. If they had dialed back the wokeness made an effort to relate to the gamers instead of insulting them and made the boss anything but an over the top 80s villain that you would find in one of the the 3 ninja kids movies then you would have been on the right track.

I give this a 2/10. And that's being generous.
