As a 90's kid that was probably pretty close to either Sam Rockwell's or Anna Kendrick's while this was made, I was brought back to the "quirky" days with this movie. However, I do also remember the specific idea that this movie was trying to be. It is way above average. If you are a child of my generation, you will love this film despite its reliance on the cuteness of the characters. Anna Kendrick does a phenomenal job playing a girl wrapped up in a world she couldn't understand, and Adam Rockwell does good playing an anti-John Wick. Suspension of disbelief is very much required to truly appreciate this film, but if you can, it is actually magical. It's just plain fun. It's almost a period piece. I liked it as much as one possibly could within reality boundaries. Reality is, that with a different generation's eyes, this is probably a cringe piece. However, I enjoyed it. A lot. Kudos to the direction for keeping mostly on point.
