I found it a lot easier to watch because they really make no attempt at pathos or the kind of “character arcs” that are always in these kids cash in movies. They give the briefest possible introduction to the characters who are basically chosen at random. I enjoyed watching jack black deliver with conviction lines of dialogue that never bothered trying to make sense in the first place.

They really just distilled it down to “you like wacky characters and you like watching them interact so that is what the movie consists of” with a barely considered Minecraft layer of paint dumped on it. If they’re supposed to learn something, they literally spend the least amount of time possible having that actually happen. Danielle Brooks’ character is literally just “uh I dunno her landlord who drives her somewhere?” and she’s not really less developed than any of the other characters lol
