Why do ya'll suppose so many non-RMericans hate Babylawn so much? I haven't seen it.

Yeah but there are plenty of movies like that which are at least praised by critics. What's different about this one?

well, im not sure if it had that many haters too..i would say there was mixed reviews. It feels some people considered it to be bloated and unfocused.

what's her gripe with Blue exactly? That he cut a bunch of dramatic stuff but kept all the sex stuff?

Yes. A few other things to me that affected my impression more.

It was widely mocked on Film Twitter but they mock everything

There aren’t really any likeable characters, and none of them are very fleshed out at all. Plus, there isn’t much there as as far as “plot” goes. It’s all spectacle.

Also, the comedy is very broad and wacky, and it doesn’t always work. But man, I couldn’t look away.

I won’t tell anyone not to watch it.

When you consider the meteoric rise and tragic downfall of Bam Margera, then it actually is quite a bit like Jackass.

My review on RM mentioned that Babylon's humor was very similar to that of Jackass (and Triangle of Sadness), but not actually that funny

Ingrid Goes West. Everyone is Ingrid, but Ingrid sucks the most at being Ingrid. Poignant and funny. 8/10 hashtags.

Olivia Hamilton was outstanding in Babylon. I had no idea who she even was, let alone that she was married to the bloody director!

She's awesome. Great energy.
