it was good at what it was supposed to be

What was it supposed to be? It was a movie with no substance

It was supposed to be a movie with no substance.

That's really the extent of how far I'm willing to go to bat for fuckin Unfrosted my dude. Of all the movies ever made, Unfrosted ranks pretty high on the scale of "I really don't care about it (or what anyone thinks about it) one way or another."

I heard (no idea if it's true because I really don't care enough to look into it) that he made a bland and inoffensive movie because comedy is too woke and you can't say anything any more, so there's no point trying to be funny. I'm not sure if that being true or a joke would be sadder for him.

The cool thing about movies is you don't have to watch them if you don't want to.
