Movies

I’ve been watching plenty of movies, from great ones like Kill Bill vol 1 to shitty ones like Diary of a Wimpy Kid:Dog Days. I love comedies of all stripes and I think I may enjoy crappy comedies nearly as good as great ones. I don’t think DoaWK deserves a real movie review so I’ll give a short analysis. First off, the movie is a sequel but doesn’t really have anything to do w previous Doawk movies, you can watch it separately from the other 2 movies and not miss a thing. Our main character Greg is a typical American white kid who is sorta awkward and overreacts to anything that’s kinda gross, but whatever not a huge deal. He is a very average kid, average lookinh, average height, build, house isn’t humongous or tiny(by movie standards, IRL he would still be pretty rich to have the house he has) and he is practically lusting over this popular girl in his class that he likes. He tries to get this girl’s phone number on the last day of school before summer break. She isn’t able to write down her phone number because the bell rings and everyone runs off. So Greg, acting like an obsessive weirdo, tricks his friend Rowley into trying EVERY POSSIBLE NUMBER that she could have and they don’t figure out the number. Then Greg goes to Rowley’s country club as a guest and basically starts stalking the popular girl, and expecting that she’ll jump in his arms and love him for simply being around her for a long enough period. Eventually he realizes that his friend will be charged for all the bullshit he bought at the country club and it isn’t free. Greg also lies about having a job at the club to his family so he can continue stalking this girl and hanging out with his friend. Eventually he gets caught, apologizes and nobody cares. The only nice message is that the popular girl didn’t care if he was rich or not and they hang out together at the PUBLIC pool(Godforbid😱) which they portray as awful and overcrowded and shitty in every regard. But this positive message aside, they really make the main character a creepy incel that follows a girl around when she gives no signals that she likes him, but they flip it at the end, all I’m gonna say is, this movie gave a lot of fuel to the incels and creepy guys that think they are owed a woman by society, whether the film creators meant that or not. All in all, a shitty film, and yea it’s for kids, but there are millions of movies for kids that have been done so much better
