Saw this today and thought it was decent – there were a lot of laughs and it avoided potentially questionable moments brought on by the premise with strong writing. The character moments feel authentic to towns with “seasonal” residents and by the end of the movie everyone comes off as nuanced with no outright antagonists
Unreferenced in the movie is the fact that that Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti have an age difference of 18 years whereas Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman are only 12 years apart but I’m not holding that against it lol
How did it avoid the questionable stuff? Not interested in the movie at all but it seems like it could be interpreted as a promotion of grooming behavior…I kinda wish the kid was a bit older.
