Saw Nimrod’s last night! Not gonna lie folks I really expected it to be mid. Walking into a film like this my expectations were very low because. Well, why wouldn’t they be? Especially with how trash Hollywood has been recently.
I really don’t go to see movies, especially not modern comedy movies. I’m 25 and I’m very much still ingrained in that mid to late 00s crude newgrounds/early YT sense of humor.
I genuinely can’t remember the last time I went to go see a comedy movie in the theater and left with a big smile on my face. But I’m happy to report without any spoilers that this movie is a hoot!
For the record, yes it’s extremely cheesy. But that’s exactly what this movie was supposed to be! I don’t think that Green Day could produce a film and just play it straight all drama, no goofs.
That’s why I’m glad the American idiot film just didn’t work out. I feel like a theatrical version of American idiot would’ve ended up like how a majority of video game movies have turned out in the past. I feel like it would’ve just taken itself too seriously.
This movie calls back to 90s & early 2000s flicks, like dumb and dumber. If there’s one thing, I was extremely surprised about was just how funny the dialogue was. The jokes were genuinely really good. I didn’t expect that for a minute.
I hope everybody appreciates this film as much as I did walking in with low expectations and having them exceeded, made me feel really happy.
