Materialists is fine but not worth theater prices. Dakota Johnson does well with what she’s given, handling the film’s shifts in tone better than the script deserves. Her performance keeps things watchable even when the story drags. The movie works as background entertainment but doesn’t demand your full attention. Save your money and watch this one at home – it’s the kind of film that works for a Netflix night when you want something easy.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: There are 2 Peetimes, I recommend the 1st Peetime as the 2nd Peetime has some plot/character development.

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.

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.
I was hoping for a lot more here. There was so little chemistry between her and Chris Evans. And they hardly talked the whole movie until the end. Chris gave a wooden performance. Pedro’s character seemed really interesting, but once they got serious, he faded away and his intrigue disappeared.
Fun Easter egg ok the credits where the cave couple showed up.
