Molly's Game

Sorkin had the nuts with Network, but his buy back isn’t such a hot hand. Chastised Chastain is exiled to Elba, and proceeds to read source material aloud, resulting in a lukewarm flop, a less than revolutionary turn, and a stagnant river. Entertaining but overlong, could have cashed out quicker.

The Lego Batman Movie

Feels like an overlong South Park episode made weaker through pulled plastic punches. Amusing Romantic Knight plot provides clever genre commentary and appearance of infinite baddies from inside and outside canon proved spectacular entertainment, but ultimately the comedy doesn’t quite match the originality of predecessor. Perhaps they suffered writers blocks.

Sausage Party

Overstocked with shock, Rogen’s grocery story is a pun-ishingly biting satire of faith, religion and world culture. From start to finish, Party is stuffed with deliciously satisfying vocal performances. Maybe mis-packaging as a giant dick joke prompted refined viewers to shelve the product, when really it’s well worth checking out.
