    Quite predictable, yet still funny-ish

    After watching this film and seeing both sides of the argument. I was left (again) on the fence but a little bit to the good side. A pretty interesting purge parody movie, about a family moving to Beverly Hills during the purge and then getting ransacked.

    Obviously people will argue that this film is "racist", as per usual, and to some extent it kind of is, and obviously during the purge, everyone wants to kill them. But because its a comedy film, we should take everything as satire with a pinch of salt. From my point of view, its a funny comedy that made me laugh quite a lot, and i see no downside apart from the alleged "racism". This means, its not for everyone.

    But at the end of the day, my words to you are: If your easily offended, don't watch it. If your not, then why not give it a shot?
