Quite possibly The Lonely Island's greatest creation. Insane how many musicians they got to be in this despite them being very obviously the butts of a lot of the jokes. But yeah, it's a blast. Between this and Walk Hard, I think the secret to making a great music parody in the 21st Century is simply - Cast Tim Meadows.
Affleck first time directing in seven years. Whereas I found his last directorial effort Live By Night to be disappointed, I found this to be a great return to form as a filmmaker. While I do think Affleck is a good actor, it’s becoming more apparent to me he’s a much better behind the cameras than he is in front of it. The direction is first rate, and the actors all bring their A-game to this project - Chris Tucker and Viola Davis especially steal the show. The writing is so sharp and witty and feels redolent of Terrio’s script for Argo(though this is not written by Terrio).
