Kinda mild, it's not what you want from a movie with this premise and rating. The aim is clearly to have some trashy, B-movie fun, but it doesn't succeed. Don't get me wrong: it has a couple of entertaining moments, but this is such a meandering slog when the bear isn't on screen. All of the characters suck, and once again we have a comedy on our hands where most of the intended jokes are either annoying or unfunny. To me it feels like this is specifically aimed at people who have one of those 'lol so random xD' type of personalities, which is not my vibe. Nor do I feel like it's the audience this material would naturally appeal to, so I don't understand this approach. Wouldn't you want this to have more edge and dark comedy? Your primary audience is likely to consist of people who spend time on the edgier sides of the internet, not Grace Randolph. I even feel like the marketing is a little disingenuous in that regard, which makes it seem like this movie goes way harder than it actually does.

The performances are fine given the awful material that the actors are handed, and the music's actually pretty decent. 80s synths are heavily overused in popular entertainment at the moment, but if you're going to use them, you might as well get Mark Mothersbaugh to do the soundtrack. However, the visuals of this movie are generally bland and uninspired, Banks still has a long way to go in that regard. Overall, this is pretty forgettable, I'd wait for it on streaming if you're interested.
