No comment on this movie in particular beyond love Will Forte, hate the talking dogs/mouth moving thing.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for starting to sticky threads with new movies to facilitate discussion!!!! This is one of the things I liked about the movies community in the other place. And setting up these threads takes a lot of work!

Will forte is not in this movie. It’s will Ferrell.

I honestly think the movie looks like garbage. But that’s just me. If it were forte, I might actually reserve my judgement. But it’s not. It’s will Ferrell, and the man hasn’t had the most stellar record since…well, that’s up for debate. But it’s been a minute.

Edit: ah, my bad errybody, Forte is in it. Still… if it were him fronting the poster and being the main draw, I might feel differently about it. But right now it just feels like another “sausage party” type “non-family friendly family movie” with big names to put butts in seats. Stupid, raunchy humor just because you “can” isn’t my type of humor. I dunno, maybe I’ll be proven wrong when everyone tells me I need to see it and then I’ll enjoy it. Guess we’ll find out. But I had similar feelings about anchorman 2 or, well, sausage party. It’s gonna be dumb and doesn’t seem worth my time

Why not both Wills?

Will Forte is in this as a human.

Why not three Wills? They could have got Arnett in there too.

Will Forte plays the owner. I should add… I paid slight attention to this during pre-release because I LOVE Will Forte.
