I wanted to like this movie. Based on the trailers it had the makings of something new and fun. Meh, they tried and failed.
My biggest gripe, the one I can’t get past, is the lack of character development. Had they given us a little more, no had they given us a lot more backstory the movie would have been better. I understand what the movie makers were doing, they gave us just enough to get through the movie so that the ending wraps it all up and our guesswork is over. Most of the time. I like filling in the blanks and keeping the suspense going, but in The Menu, they withheld just a tad too much.

The acting was awesome and the chemistry between the characters came through loud and clear. The setting was perfect and the visualization was top-notch. That’s what makes me so sad. It had all the components of a truly fantastic movie.
That’s my take. I’m curious to see your comments and thoughts after seeing The Menu. I hope you enjoy it more than I did.
Grade: C-
About The Peetimes: There are 2 great Peetimes. I would go with the 2nd Peetime because you really can’t miss anything after this point.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!
