Does creativity equal a great movie? Well, not in this case.
Director Boots Riley is known for his wildly imaginative and over-the-top creativity in filmmaking, and this movie is packed with it. Some of the visuals (one scene in particular, and you’ll know it when you see it) are pretty incredible. In fact, it’s kind of amazing that he can get a film like this made and released on Memorial Day weekend, no less.
A story of a group of women (including KeKe Palmer) who boost — steal and then sell — upscale clothing is turned into a crazy fantasy of revenge against the high-class owner of a fashion brand (Demi Moore). It’s one crazy thing after another, and I have to give it to him for throwing a million different things at the wall.

The performances were fun; KeKe Palmer continues to prove she’s a star. However, I just never really cared about the story. Granted, I’m not exactly the target audience for this movie, but I’m a sucker for movies that try different things, and this certainly did that. However, by the last 30 minutes, I was just waiting for it all to end.
Good for everyone involved for trying something different. But it just didn’t take for me.

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!
