Don't get me wrong, I was amused by the dildo and butt plug fights. And the dog being used as some sort of Sorcerer whip, lol. But the shifts in tone were awful and impossible to take seriously. I'm honestly astonished this has a best picture nom. I guess you can mix any chaotic nonsense with family drama and gay acceptance. Of course I agree with gay acceptance, but it shouldn't be a mess of a film and still get a Best Picture nom.
It was fun seeing Short Round again, and some other good performances and occasionally some impressive editing, but overall not very engaging. I think the only reason I finished it was because it was hard to take my eyes off of the train wreck.
Finally got around to seeing this, what an absolute behemoth of a fantastic film, you know a film is good when it was simultaneously the best drama, comedy, kung fu, science fiction, and romance film of the year. You'd have to be a total shit-for-brains to think this film is bad, and it definitely deserved to completely dominate the Oscars that year. 👆
