I doubt it gets more than 5 stars on IMDB, but it was an okay watch. Always liked Julie Bowen.

Stands about here in my book too. Bobby Boucher and Special Officer Doofy (Scary Movie)'s lovechild was quite a mix.

Maybe a six given that and the small ensemble of comics.

This is going to kill a lot of the movie industry. A lot of movies meant for release have been delayed indefinitely or bought by Amazon or Netflix for release. I'm hoping this brings back drive in theatres.

I have an affinity for the in-theater movie experience. It's one of the things I'm missing during COVID.

To that, here's the challenge...

There were a lot of "big" movies that were finished or in post production when Covid hit. They were going to be the summer blockbusters. As you mentioned, many/most were delayed. But the production companies already sunk their money and need a return, sooner rather than later. So, how long can they continue to push these off?

Similarly, Amazon and Netflix need new content. Many people feel like they've run through their libraries already. They're itching for new content. But can Amazon and Netflix take the risk of buying these blockbusters on the risk they're a flop and/or people aren't willing to pay for these the same way they would in a theater? A clue to this may be Disney's approach with live action Mulan:
Mulan's 2020 Box Office Explained: Was It A Success For Disney+?

Not everyone has the same distribution capability as Disney. I wasn't a huge movie goer prior to this but I would like to visit a theater again. Some shows are just better that way, ex. Ford v. Ferrari was amazing on the big screen. I imagine Top Gun 2 will be as well and when it's released, everyone is welcome to watch it with me, except @Board and Seize because he was mean.

My favorite theater by far was the Alamo Draft House, sure the reclining leather seats, expansive menu, and top notch drinks were great. But they'd hold early viewings, show films straight from festivals consistently as well as throw back nights of cult classics.

They honestly changed how I view and enjoy the medium of film for the better. They've launched an On Demand streaming service that replicates it some, but it isn't the same.

They also have the best child policy I've seen from a theater.
