Mayer Dastgir’s review published on Letterboxd:
Sean may be a Baker, but bro COOKED with this.
I thought the movie was good and much funnier than I expected however the complaint for me that holds it back from being great is it's pacing. I feel like there is about solid 20 minutes of this movie that can be cut without much loss. Specifically in the 1st and 2nd acts.
Bit of spoilers if you keep reading.
In the 1st act I had the feeling eventually where I was like "I get it they did a lot of partying and had sex a lot can we keep the story moving" and in the 2nd act they could have cut some of the searching scenes to a montage without losing much. I felt it again "I get it they spent all day looking for him let's keep it moving"
Again the movie was way funnier lots of audible laughter in my screening, more than I expected The performances were amazing but the pacing really slowed the momentum and made it feel like a bit of a slog. Otherwise good stuff.
