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.

Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app...especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene...and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!
