This movie is almost two wierd to review because it blurs the line between reality and fantasy. I’m confident that if you think just a little about all of the plot points and how they work together, you’ll find that they unravel. The density of weirdness only increases throughout the movie, but that’s part of the fun.
At its core, this is another movie, in a long string of movies, that warns us of the impending apocalypse brought on by social media abuse and AI domination. (The anti-Reeses: Two bad things that are worse together.)

All the good
Let’s talk about the obvious stuff that really works in this movie. It’s funny. Like laugh-out-loud funny. At least a handful of times, the entire audience LOLed.
Sam Rockwell is fantastic. He totally embodies his character.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

All of the supporting actors are awesome. Particularly Juno Temple, as Susan, and Haley Lu Richardson as Ingrid.
This is a long-ish movie, at 2h. 8min., not including the end credits. But it doesn’t feel that way. Well, maybe the last 15 minutes dragged a little bit, but other than that, it was engaging throughout. Even though there are a lot of flashbacks, it’s easy to follow the narrative thread.
I wonder if anyone else feels like director Gore Verbinski channeled his inner Terry Gilliam in this movie. The visuals and the weirdness feel totally Gilliamesque. Particularly The man from the future’s suit, the cat, and the AI room, all feel like they were copy/pasted from the mind of Gilliam—and that’s a good thing.
Grade: B+
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
