Last night I think a miracle happened. I need to give you a little bit of backstory before I give you my review on X.
For years, I’ve battled with my feelings towards any movie A24 releases. I’ve basically hated them all and threatened my brother that I would quit if he made me do another one. This is where the story gets interesting. I’m currently on vacation, having the time of my life when I get a message from RunPee Dan. (AKA…my brother) He needs me to see a movie due to the number of releases this week and he’s simply a weenie when it comes to horror flicks. So me being the wonderful sister I am agree to do it. I search the closest theater to my hotel and it’s over an hour’s drive from me, but that’s cool, I love my brother so I’ll do it. I’ve now rearranged my vacation activities and hit the road to watch it.
Flash forward to me in my seat with a huge popcorn and an even bigger drink and the lights go down. Do you want to know the very first thing I see?? Made by A24. What?? Is this a massive prank? He wouldn’t do this? Would he? He did. Yep, my brother sent me to my version of hell, on my vacation no less.

The movie begins and I’m totally surprised from the get-go. X is unlike any other A24 production I’ve had the displeasure of seeing. It was actually good. That is saying a lot coming from my jaded opinion.
The cast had great chemistry. (which is a good thing since they’re filming a porno) I was shocked to see Brittany Snow. (Pitch Perfect) I didn’t think she’d be able to pull off this role because all I can see is the perfect, little sorority girl singing away. I was wrong again, she played a great porno girl.
The entire movie plays and I was amused, shocked, and happy with what I saw. Once the credits were over I was even happier. I don’t want to give anything away but let me tell you, stay through them and you’ll get a happy little bonus.

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!

One last thing, this definitely earns its R rating. Like a lot. So my recommendation is to grab your movie buddy and check X out.
Grade: B+
About The Peetimes: After watching this movie, I tossed out my final Peetime. Come to find out, you really need to see everything after the second Peetime to fully understand the film.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of X. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
