Strange-looking patty melts?
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die *** Not for everybody is our big takeaway. You might say this is not even for most people. This cautionary tale has some fun elements, some really troubling attempts at black humor, and, above all, a lot of Sam Rockwell.
In the spirit of Back to the Future, Terminator, 12 Monkeys, Deadpool 2 and probably lots of others, Rockwell arrives from the future to try to change the historical trajectory. This year’s villain is the dual threats of human complacency and AI run amok, slouching toward Idiocracy, I suppose. And the movie begins with Rockwell showing up at a Norm’s in LA to recruit a band of diner-goers to aid him in his quest.
I really like Sam Rockwell and he is great as far as these things go. We thought the supporting cast was also pretty solid in what were patently absurd roles, Michael Peha, Juno Temple, and Zazie Beetz. We especially liked Haley Lu Richardson as the enigmatic princess in black lace-up boots. That said, I could easily tell you five things about this movie that would make you not want to see it. Defintely cleared the $6.32 bar for us, but you are welcome to take a flyer or just walk out if school shooting jokes aren’t your thing.
Did Norm’s go out of business? Perhaps the apocolypse is nigh.
