America loves a winner!

And why the hell not ? It was awesome! Quirky, funny, and sooo not Avengers or X-Men, with ridiculous references to the latter...

Agree to the 10th Power.............Awesome, Quirky, funny and then some. Irreverent in every way.....it broke all the rules, but also colored within the lines.....it delivered a message without being sappy or maudlin, cliched or trite.

Let me tell you, that's not easy to pull off. Tim Miller should be commended and awarded something for this work - a story told in a bold and unique way (after all he was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film).

By the way, Morena was awesome. She is, as you all know, a gifted actress and thrives when in the right hands. Reynolds was in his element and was completely flawless, thanks mostly to Miller's direction, as he waltzed through this
whimsical film with the irreverent storytelling technique. 4th Wall, gone!
Where is it? Shattered in pieces on the floor, and then magically brought back
to life with a wink and a nod.

There was a line in the movie about 2 jigsaw pieces fitting together perfectly,
as I write this it becomes clear that this movie was just that - a jigsaw puzzle
that we see come to life and grab the audience by the balls - "Come with me, we're
going to have some fun." But I also get why they released this film on Valentine's
day - the Radiohead song, CREEP, comes into play in my head. This is a special nod
to those who people just quite can't figure out - teenage angst and "normal" get
their comeuppance, but it's served up with a smile and a shit emoji.

The beauty part is that you don't have to be a fan boy to enjoy the bit of
tomfoolery flashing before you up on the screen; it's all in the storytelling, dialogue, acting, and the fast-paced action. You may even go a second time,
because you may have missed a brilliant line due to your fellow moviegoers
laughter. So run, don't walk, to the nearest theater, check your critical mind at the door, sit back and let it wash over you.

By the way, stay past the end credits, it will complete the FUN!

Tim Miller, Thank You!

FOX said it may make between $60 to $70 million during the Presidents day weekend...it looks like it's going to beat the crap out of that. Likely well over $100 million.

It may gross $150M by tomorrow. Let's put this into perspective, it took
The Revenant a little over 2 months to gross $160M. This movie very well
hit $500M worldwide.
