It is pretty brutal in places.

Mm-hmm.

Comically so, I think intentionally, but for me maybe a little much at times.

With that said, I am a big fan of James Marsden, who's very charming in this.

I think the current stage of Vince Vaughn's career, which has included this and also the show he's in, Bad Monkey.

I think has brought out a little more melancholy in him, which is certainly part of this story.

But mostly it is a slapsticky, bloody affair.

It has a pretty great supporting cast.

Keith David plays the kind of super baddie that they're up against.

Stephen Root shows up.

Jimmy Tatro, who you might know for playing lunkheads in, you know, American Vandal and Theater Camp and some other things.

Yeah.

plays a lunkhead here as well.

I always enjoy him.

I have some uncertainty about the ending of this, which I obviously won't spoil and whether it's entirely satisfying, but I think the movie is solid and it's silly and I had a good time.

What did you think of it?

But like, when is the last time you heard that song?

It's the kind of movie that feels like you could almost have most of this movie without the time machine, which is kind of a weird place to come down about in a movie.

But yeah, I enjoyed this one a lot.

Again, it's streaming on Hulu.
