This film's existence was unknown to me until yesterday when I saw an ad on framed.wtf (a movie-based Wordle-type game).
Unrelated, I have a proposal for you, Vince, and by all means, feel free to tell me to fuck off if you're not interested. I'm a professional proofreader who would be thrilled to proofread your pieces (I'd do it for free or even in exchange for a free subscription). I know this is an objectively obnoxious offer and seems like spam, especially in a comment section ("Hey, bro, I see your mistakes, and only I can fix them"), but I come* in peace as a fan of your writing and reviews. Again, I take no offense if you take offense, but the offer remains. I'll see myself to the door now... Do you validate?
*the other spelling works here as well for me, but it's not relevant to this situation
This typo was not in the google doc and was solely my editor's fault, but I forgive it because he did get to correct two factual errors of mine. I sure spelled them shits right though. (which is to say that more editors can be both helpful and harmful)
I decided to do a double-feature today: Saw this right after" The Zone of Interest." (Even texted my friend in between that I was hoping for a pick-me-up in the second half, so maybe I wasn't in the best headspace for this one.)
Most of the movie felt like things that were kinda funny on paper, but just didn't work given w/e half of them were doing acting-wise. (My screening was just as quiet as the Holocaust one right before, which...not the best sign.)
I also thought of the Clooney dick chair near the end, tho! But only to remember how that still is the hardest I've ever laughed at something in a movie theater. The same kinda sight gag here just...didn't compare. (It wasn't *earned* like the chair was.)
I was very unreceptive to it at the beginning of the film, but certainly little turns of phrase and a couple of gags won it for me (Curlie bit was full belly laugh, and the sight gag at the end... really big laugh from me on that one).

Damn him! I assume one of the factual errors is that you got the Wachowski sisters and the Coen brothers mixed up.
Anyway, if you need proofreading in the future, my offer stands. I look forward to the next article!

Overall, solid B+

I did really like Curlie.
I think I'd be into randomly clicking over to this on cable or something, seems like a fun movie to pop in on.
