There must be a term or phrase in some language that explains the critical consensus on this movie, along the lines of:
There were low expectations across the board but it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as expected and thus it was considered “good” but, on that basis, a new expectation is created, which has the opposite effect.
There must be a name for that, right? I could imagine it going in waves forever on this movie.
I’m going to tell you it’s really quite bad, with almost no redeeming features. The one thing that stands out is the intertwinned character arc of Kate and Tyler, which never quite goes the way you expect. And, actually, that’s probably worth at least half a star. And, to be fair, Glen Powell is very enjoyable too, maybe worthy of another half star?
★★½
