Zero Stars. I'll quote from some other User Reviews
6 February 2024
" I never wanted a film to end- halfway through"

" You'll never see a Charlie Day film, ever again."

"I get it. But I didn't like it."

"Gets Old...FAST."

"...an homage to Buster Keaton and Seller's 'Being There'. But didn't deliver an entertaining film".

"Why it's not funny..,( 950 character).

" _Not_ "Being There".

"A 98 minute long, dragged out, failed SNL sketch".

"(I) can take only so much satirical, un-funny comedy"

"I never left a theater angry at a film before"

" Day's performance was phoned in".

"Bad Score. Bad Cinematography. Bad Plot Structure. BAD Pacing". Characters were so poorly introduced and actual conflict was really dumb".

" Just a total snooze fest".

" $30 million budget returning only $800,000. A" Producers- type of tax con? A Money Laundering scheme or just some billionaires vanity project???

" Film was forced down your throat...the peddling of cheap movies as art".

Someone apparently I'll-advised Day that his silent film haminess and his "confused with everything" innocence would create some kind of magical, throw back, cinema. It didn't. And it didn't work on any level whatsoever.

Yes. We ALL get what Day was trying to affect.

But the sheer volume of desperate "un-funny" was absolutely unforgivable.
