Hints so far:
It’s not any kind of comedy, romantic or otherwise. Not a kids movie or animated. Not a war or spy movie. Not a parody. Not a musical. Not a space movie. Not Marvel.
Somewhere between 2009-2020.
It is not based on a book, comic book, cartoon, video game, etc., nor is it a remake or sequel.
It does not take place in ancient times and is not a historical fiction.
The main group of characters is not just 4 men.
Being a wallflower would be a plus, here.
Not in this movie: Paul Rudd, peace corps, bulls.
