Bob's Burgers: FOMO You Didn't (2021)
Great wit had me giggling.
I came here to look up the writers, as I really enjoyed the one liners. Then seen it could use some love, thus, I must posit that I was recently pondering what makes any of these animated sitcoms unique? I mean how many different ways can the coyote try to catch the roadrunner? And thus I commend the writers for their use of a young girls fomo as a more modern plot driver, but what I find separates animated sitcoms is not the plot, it is the comedy in-between plot development. I digged Bob's joke about the old tenants/family to come back and paint the living room, and the ending credits bit made it a great showing. As I said, I came here to find out who the writers were, so I may learn more about their work, as I obviously find their jokes remarkable.
Old (2021)
Read the book, it's bound to be better.
I haven't read the book... but it has to be better than this garbage. As many have already said, interesting premise... but it's just so poorly done.
The premise is that time passes differently on a remote beach. M. Night Shyamalan even suggests that it applies to everything on the beach, with cutlery oxidizing quickly, corpses decomposing into skeletons in a few hours, babies being conceived and born in less than hour... and yet, that's it. All other props will not show the ravages of time that are supposedly being experienced. There are baskets, clothing, food, umbrellas, etc, that never experience this time dilation... and I must ask, why not? Is M. Night Shyamalan so poor that he can't even spend an extra 20k for multiple props? I bet he could, he simply felt that this movie didn't deserve any extra effort except that which the studio allotted him. If you are going to try and sell me on absurdity, I expect you to address every little detail of absurdity.
Take the coral scene when one of the characters shirts get caught on coral underwater. Most people would probably realize that all they need to do to save themselves is to take off the article of clothing... but not these characters.
The effort that M. Night Shyamalan put into this movie... shows that he doesn't care about the viewers experience. This honestly looks like M. Night Shyamalan simply tricked a movie studio into paying for his vacation on a tropical island.
After viewing this film, I will never again watch anything simply because M. Night Shyamalan touched it. I skipped over more of the movie than what I actually watched.
And to save y'all some time, here's the entire movie in a nutshell:
Family arrives at an exotic resort, and they are given complimentary 'cocktails'. These cocktails are laced with experimental drug therapies, catered to the individual. This is because the resort is actually a research facility for a pharmaceutical company. They apparently discovered a magical beach where time passes much more quickly, while searching for novel medicinal plants. Thus, now they can test for the long term efficacy of the medications they develop over the course of 24 hours. Also, the individuals brought to the beach can't leave, becuase... then the whole premise wouldn't work. So, they claim 'it's the rocks', thus people black out and then reappear on the beach.
The family is taken there on day 2, as expected everyone ages rapidly and eventually succumb to their disease or die of old age.
Two children who became adults over the course of the day survive because they escaped to the coral. And, the bad guys are exposed in the end.
Please pass on this movie, save yourself the wasted time and watch a cute animal video on YouTube instead, at least that will bring inner joy. And to the psychopaths, do what you will.
