"Dear Evan Hansen"

[Andrew NDB]

Shockingly, it looks like it's flopping:

I honestly can't fathom who'd want to see this movie. So like... a geeky, non-threatening guy with anxiety issues writes himself (?) a motivational letter, then some other dude takes the letter and kills themself? And then he becomes like a friend to the family?

My friend wanted to go see it and I really didn’t have anything better to do. Plus, I wanted to continue supporting my local cinemas. It wasn’t the worst musical movie I ever watched. That honor goes to Cats, but it is not something I ever plan on watching again anytime soon. Amy Adams and the girl playing her daughter were the only things I liked about it.

Geez, whatever happened to all the fun John Hughes movies from back in the day? We need more of them! Oh wait, Social Justice Wankers always whine about how they're "problematic" and "didn't age well".

The real irony is "where, then, are all of those social justice wankers who were supposed to turn out and support a movie like this one?"

All you have to do is look at the hangers-on with the forums here. It's a group of joyless, life-angry fools who have no recourse but to tear other people down under the guise that they are of some higher 'morality'. But they don't pay to see their movies.

Exactly what I was wondering. Because on paper, this movie seems like a bunch of SJW things (like, the realization of the kind of dilemma that only an SJW would think would be movie-worthy) thrown into a box, shaken up, then churned into some kind of a film for a bunch of pink haired women and effeminate men (probably to along with their girlfriend's boyfriend). And then none of them show up!
