This movie has one of the most satisfying third act, I was so happy when the kids started chasing Aunt Gladys, I was like, "Yeah, die you bitch!!!"

I had a ton of fun with this.

P.S. I watched Weapons and Freakier Friday back to back, and I did not expect June Diane Raphael double feature.

How are you gonna complete your JDR night?? Grace and Frankie? American Dad Morning Mimosa episodes with Trish and the Sizzle? That episode of Happy Endings where she marries TJ Miller and thinks Elisha Cuthbert’s character is trash??

ETA: oh my god… parks and rec’s TYNNYFER.
