Movie Review - Licorice Pizza
I went and saw Licorice Pizza and was kind of excited to see what the world looked like in 1973, the year I was born. I walked out realizing that I'm really happy that we are born without the ability to talk, to walk or to rationalize things. I'm so happy that the 70's were over by the time I could understand the world a little better. Dear Lord, this movie was bad.
I'm baffled that this movie has an 8.2/10 rating on IMDB. I've read about twenty reviews and now here I sit in complete confusion. I'm going to stand proud and declare that this movie was by far the worst of 2021.
Not one single character appealed to me. From the pimply face of an annoying 15-year-old to a 25-year-old female that makes women look bad. (We're not all wishy-washy like this poor excuse of an independent woman.) Technically she wasn't independent, since she still lived at home and was messing with a 15-year-old. Who does that? Perhaps Mary Kay Letourneau.
Even with all the cameo roles, the movie couldn't be saved. For the life of me, I can't figure out why Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, and John C. Reilly took the time to appear in this atrocious attempt at art.
Insert barfy face here.
Save your money, time, and patience. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.
