Yup! Tommy Wiseau booked out a private theatre so his crap film would be eligible.

Anyway, I wanted to make a joke about the writers wearing a blindfold when they did the script.

Watched it last night. Was good, I did enjoy it. I think it's massively overrated though - and like stated above from Amy (i think) I don't understand why some just kill themselves straight away then some go psycho and try to get others to look idk

I thought it was pretty good, not sure why it's getting so much aggressive animosity.

I watched it on the plane coming back and I get it that it's good but it's so overhyped

[Marsh.]

It's not been hyped though.

Just discussed a lot. I haven't seen a single review pretending it's a masterpiece.

I was going to say, I don't know enough about how "highly rated" it is to say if it's over-rated. For a Netflix movie, it's good. I'm vaguely tempted to say that it didn't really need the "star power" element to sell it, and it could have been better with a different lead. Bullock isn't BAD in it, but she's just OK. The "Oh my, Sandra Bullock has had one too many facelifts" effect is a little distracting.

But yeah. In terms of Netflix quality, this is easily "high", so I dunno if it's over-rated at all.

Having a quick look;

6.7 IMDB, 63%Rotten Tomatoes. Sounds about right to me? 6-or-7 out of 10 is hardly over-rated... 6 to 7 is the "decent watch" score for movies.
