Review

This is funny, both cringey and also maybe to prove a point, and filled with characters I've been and known times over. And this was a generation before me. Matthew McConaughey is iconic both for his creepiness and his hilarity. Again, the creepiness is probably to prove a point? Anyway, I think this movie is great. I'm very late to the party on this, but I'm glad I finally got here.
