Just me and some Hawaiian shirt clad incel in the theater.
Honestly, I didn’t enjoy this experience one bit.
The main character is an old, severely balding lyricist with homosexual tendencies who is embittered by the success of his former partner’s musical and enamored with an intellectual college slut from Yale who makes him feel special.
Nearly the entire movie takes place in a bar, with the main character flitting between self-obsessed rants, cringe pretentious jester maxxing for the people around him(which most other characters seem only vaguely interested in at best) and sentimental speeches about this college girl he’s met and everything their relationship means to him. This continues on for what feels like hours until his partner comes out after the musical finishes. The manlet, fueled by narcissism and alcohol, then proceeds to beg for his former partner’s attention, insulting him and his work(which he ironically calls too sentimental) and asks him to work with him again, pitching an idea for a musical that makes fun of the themes of his partner’s musical while also having a self insert for himself as a man who is an “explorer” who is captivated by a woman half his age who makes him realize everything he does is for a woman like her. His partner is annoying by the cringe manlet and desperately tries to escape, and when he does the manlet is left alone.
The manlet speaks to the college girl and they eventually retreat to a private office to discuss how she lost her virginity. She tells him that the Chad doesn't care for her at all, and fucked her but won’t return her calls, and despite this she would drive 30 hours for him if he called her back, because she “loves him”. The manlet is nearly brought to tears by this tale of cuckoldry, and asks if she ever loved him, to which she responds “not in that way”.
The film ends with him introducing her to his partner, and she leaves with his partner to “talk business” with our manlet being left in the bar to further harass the staff.
This movie was a piece of shit.
It wasn’t visually interesting.
There wasn’t any interesting theme I picked up on.
It was so insanely dialogue and reference heavy that my eyes began to glaze over within the first 30 minutes.
Would not fucking recommend.
Still it was nice to go to the cinema
