I'm sure that 95% of the gags are in the trailers.  It does stretch the "they don't know that they're sex toys" gag but the running time stops it from snapping (like a banjo string).  I though it was alright and a decent chuckle, but not a patch on some of the recent coming of age films.

I liked Booksmart a lot, but I much preferred Good Boys. I’ve not seen Eighth Grade, and I didn’t get on with Lady Bird. 

Ooh, not a coming of age film, but I watched half of Journeyman and really liked it. The DVD kept skipping though, so I sent it back.

I was thinking about going to see Good Boys but then I saw "From the people that brought you Bad Neighbours and Sausage Party..." and my mind was made up for me.

Finally got round to seeing Blindspotting last night which I really enjoyed. Never seen Daveed Diggs in anything before but thought he was excellent and just oozed cool. Then I googled him and saw this:

Daveed_Diggs,_White_House,_March_2016.pn

Ah, well. Never mind. Good film though.

I won't believe the positive reviews until @Hannibal Scorch takes it down a notch for not being true to the source material or something.

I have a small awareness of Dora the cartoon, the trailers suggested typical summer kids guff, however, hearing it compared to NewManji means I’m gonna have to check it out

It's better than that, although the jokes are much funnier if you're familiar with the cartoon.

As I said, I was too old when Dora started, just no little bits, but certainly intrigued enough to give it a watch

Also it’s 20 minutes shorter then Avengers Endgame, yet felt like it lasted 4 hours. 

Really? I've seen it twice and it flew by both times. Its definitely going to be a movie that splits people. Seen such wildly different reactions to it. Which is good I suppose. He's really the only filmmaker alive today who can still open a huge, original movie and have everyone talk about it. (Nolan as well)

How did you feel about The Sharon Tate stuff? I was trying not to cry through a lot of it. I felt really sad during it.

I thought it was really well handled. I think the fear was it would appear exploitative, but he really did a top job on it. I've seen some criticism that she's not in it enough, but I don't think he ever planned it to be a Sharon Tate film. She's sort of like a ghost in the background.

The end is also brilliant. I know it'll split people, but I loved it.

That's so intentional though. The fact that she's not in it much plays it so well. And yeah, I did laugh at the end, while two middle aged women were stone faced. I thought it was great. People who say "oh that was horrible" read up on what they did to Sharon.

And this song was so fitting:
