Knives Out (2019)

Written by GenerationofSwine on January 12, 2023

So, this is a bad remake of Clue... but...

"The bad scores are because of Star Wars fans" And, honestly I am sure that some of them are... but once more we see people attacking anyone that doesn't give a Rain Johnson 10 out of 10.

"The bad scores are conservative trolls" And once again we see people, and Johnson, attacking anyone that doesn't like this film.

Once again people are throwing a fit because other people don't like the exact same thing they do.

But to be honest, again, I can see that. This is overtly political, and by "overtly" I mean that they are screaming through a megaphone, at just about every opportunity, to inject their politics into it.

Other than that, it is kind of like Clue... if Clue was very careful not to insult some people in their jokes, and very focused in an attempt to insult others with a sheer and unadulterated prejudice. And that kind of makes for a very awkward film where the jokes are so self-aware they can't help but fail.

So, basically that is what you are getting, Clue with jokes aimed at the politically correct and a hearty injection of politics. And that is all you are getting.

But, hey, if you haven't seen Clue, you might like it. And, if you share the politics and think they should be shrieked in everything, you will totally like it.

The rest of us are just going to watch Clue.
