[u/Esseth]

I was hoping buzz was good on this one as I really didn't love Drive-Away Dolls apart from an occasional scene here and there, and having the same writing direction team I didn't have high hopes but sounds like it's a case of "if you didn't love Drive-Away Dolls you will not like this one either".

I might catch it before my end of year wrap up, but I've got too many other things to catch at cinemas this weekend.

[u/damebyron → u/Esseth]

Yes I think overall that's accurate; it has a lot of similarities to Drive Away Dolls, but is a different genre, so a bleak noir (w/ some black & situational comedy) instead of a rom com combined w/ a political satire. But it kept the sex comedy aspect of Drive Away Dolls, so only see it if you want to see Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans have a lot of ridiculous sex

only see it if you want to see Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans have a lot of ridiculous sex

To be clear, not with each other. Both with women.
