I went and saw Licorice Pizza and was kind of excited to see what the world looked like in 1973, the year I was born. I walked out realizing that I’m really happy that we are born without the ability to talk, to walk or to rationalize things. I’m so happy that the 70’s were over by the time I could understand the world a little better. Dear Lord, this movie was bad.
I’m baffled that this movie has an 8.2/10 rating on IMDB. I’ve read about twenty reviews and now here I sit in complete confusion. I’m going to stand proud and declare that this movie was by far the worst of 2021.
Not one single character appealed to me. From the pimply face of an annoying 15-year-old to a 25-year-old female that makes women look bad. (We’re not all wishy-washy like this poor excuse of an independent woman.) Technically she wasn’t independent, since she still lived at home and was messing with a 15-year-old. Who does that? Perhaps Mary Kay Letourneau.

Even with all the cameo roles, the movie couldn’t be saved. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, and John C. Reilly took the time to appear in this atrocious attempt at art.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Save your money, time, and patience. I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone.
Grade: WTF
About The Peetimes: This is a pretty long movie. I’ve got 3 solid choices for you to use.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Licorice Pizza. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
Your review gave me a chuckle. Thanks for seeing this so we don’t have to!
Oh my! I’m about to watch it now along with the other Best Picture nominees…. I’ll circle back if I agree with your WTF grade. LOL!
Your review is on point!!! Too much going on. I assume Licorice Pizza is the title because licorice and pizza don’t go together and neither does any of the many plots in the movie. Ugghhh!
