These kind of reviews make it seem like this is the kind of movie that was made for the internet era to be a meme worthy viral spectacle of epic failure. If marketed correctly, as a movie where the audience gets to wink and be in on the joke, this could be a spectacular cult classic and mint money.
please tell me you have seen the "Producers" which has been around for 40 years now

This move looks and sounds awful and I can't wait to see it. Common sentiment, it seems

A lot of those comments are hilarious, especially this one:

"Aubrey Plaza is unsurprisingly the only redeeming quality"

Out of that cast? She's the only one that this critic expected to deliver something worthwhile? Right.

I have no particular fondness for Coppola as a person, but it sort of feels like a generation of critics who saw Hearts of Darkness were primed up for their turn to complain about the old bloated egomaniac wasting everyone's time.

No one who's ever watched any of his interviews will feel bad about seeing Professor Coppola take a bellyflop into the pool, but I feel even more strongly that I have to give this movie a chance. I'll either enjoy the absurdity and surrealistic ScyFy aesthetic, or I'll laugh at him.

*also loved the comment about the prolonged shots of extras who have to be Coppola relatives.

Looks like this is getting picked up by Lionsgate and will get a theatrical release in the US and Canada. If anything this will be...interesting.

I've never been this excited for a movie that I fully expect to hate. It just looks like such an epic failure.

It increasingly feels like this movie wasn't made for 40 years because nobody has thought it would be a good movie for 40 years
Thanks and gig'em

On the one hand, this is inane.

On the other, I kind of hope it makes half a billion dollars to shock these studios out of whatever rut they are in, and bring back some of the old, classic, adult drama entertainment.

But...its probably not good and won't make even the marketing cost back.

At this point I would be shocked if it makes more than $25M at the box office for its entire run, but who knows.

The last time FFC needed to raise money quick he ended up having to make GF3

Maybe we finally get GF4?

Also, for the record, this has basically been debunked, to the point where Coppola is now suing Variety.

There's no surer sign of virtue than filing suit.

I should have said, "This has been debunked. Also, Coppola is suing Variety."

In twenty years this will be described as "one of the best movies in history".

(Basing this on the reviews so far.)

I for one completely trust his knowledge of the world before it was corrupted by writing and the advent of "the horse."

I have but one simple request, and that is to have HORSES WITH FREAKING PATRIARCHY ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS. Is that too much to ask?

So, based on the reviews...I'm curious how this movie stacks up with Everything Everywhere all at once.

I never saw this movie, but it was largely because I read too many "confusing, what did I just watch" types of reviews.

So is this one like that or on a totally different spectrum?
