What Birds of Prey lacks in story it makes up for — mostly — in humor and action.
Margot Robbie single-handedly saves this movie from toilet of underachieving movies. And let’s face it, no one is going to see this movie for any other reason than Margot’s wickedly perfect personification of the pseudo protagonist — Harley Quinn.
The entire script revolves around giving Robbie ample opportunities to flash her psychotic smile and primal violence. And she does that exceedingly well.

Props must be given to Jonathan Eusebio.
“Who?” You ask.
“OMG! You call yourself an action/superhero movie fan and you don’t know who Jonathan Eusebio is?” Okay, I honestly didn’t either until 15 seconds ago. I had to look up the stunt coordinator for this movie because it was brilliant. Harley Quinn’s fighting style perfectly befits her personality. Turns out, you’ve seen much of Jonathan Eusebio’s work. He was the stunt/fight coordinator for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Deadpool 2, Black Panther, Fast & Furious 8, John Wick: Chapter 2, Doctor Strange, etc.

The Academy Awards snobbishly don’t recognize categories for stunt coordinators and stunt people in their awards, but they absolutely should. But hey, Jonathan Eusebio, I got your back. I think you deserve the first “Kapow”. (Award for best stunt coordination in a feature film given out by RunPee.)
However, despite the brilliance of the stunt work and fighting choreography, the screenplay for this movie lacks cohesion. It relies on voice-over flashbacks to provide the bulk of every character’s back story, and comes off as cartoonish. It’s not awful, but it’s far from good.
Grade: B
About The Peetimes: We only found two Peetimes, but they’re both good. Neither Peetime we chose has any action scenes or much comedy.
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.
