movie reviews

I recently watched Pizza Movie (2026) and it's ridiculous, fairly predictable, and fun. It's a drug-trip buddy comedy in the same vein as Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and Dude, Where's My Car? and a dozen other college party movies. It stars Gaten Matarazzo of Stranger Things fame, and Sean Giambrone from The Goldbergs along with Lulu Wilson. We follow the leads as they experience a vivid and sometimes disturbing psychedelic experience and desperately attempt to acquire a pizza. There's a butterfly, a robot, many, many hijinks and some laughs. It's not high cinema, but I enjoyed it.

Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die is a weird but enjoyable movie. It has strong opinions about the rise of social media and other attention grabbing technology and doesn't seem to care if you agree or not. It opens a bit slowly with a long monologue, but picks up the pace pretty quickly. It's a wild adventure with odd things happening pretty consistently and frequently had me questioning where it was going next. It has the same frenetic energy as Everything Everywhere All At Once, and if you liked that one, you should enjoy this as well. It won't be to everyone's taste, but I certainly enjoyed it.
