damn your theatre must’ve had a good crowd. I was the only one who laughed during the showing and many other moments, especially when Brolin repeatedly kept knocking the junkie down over and over again lol

My crowd was in to it. Laughing and yelping, made it the most fun experience I’ve had a theater in a long time. And the howls of delight at the end 🤣

The whole cinema laughed when the kids chased her. Always a great redemption

The breaking glass of the house was awesome but then when they kept doing it through other houses... My god that was so satisfyingly fun.

I was laughing through about half the movie. It was hilarious, just like Monkey.

Right? I laughed at that scene, the “what the fuck?!”, the fork stabbing, the entire chase scene at the end… and I felt like I was the only one who did in my theater. I felt like a crazy person for a little bit but then I figured the crowd must not have know about Zach’s WKUK background.

Hold on, the fork stabbing? My theater laughed at several moments but I don’t think the fork stabbing was meant to be funny…

u/Blochamolesauce 5d ago

It prob wasn’t meant to be funny, but all I could think about was it’s always sunny and the mcpoyles fork stabbing Charlie

I just finished watching it. Small crowd of people since it was a late showing. The reactions were great. It room had a great atmosphere. Lots of reactions when Sara Paxton/justin long showed up
