Watch Nateโs standup, is this the funniest thing heโs ever done? No. But is this still a great movie? Yes.
The entire point of this movie is to be something parents, grandparents, teenagers, and little kids can all sit down and enjoy together. And it absolutely succeeds at that. My family laughed and had a good time.
The funniest part of the whole experience, though, might be reading some of the criticsโ reviews. A lot of them seem personally offended that a movie dared to prioritize entertaining normal families over earning applause from people who think every comedy needs to be a social or political commentary.
The Breadwinner isnโt trying to be the next cinematic masterpiece. Itโs trying to be a fun family movie. Imagine judging it by what it actually sets out to do instead of what a handful of self-appointed cultural gatekeepers wish it were. No one expects a van to win the Indy 500, but it can still be the best car for its purpose. This did its job well.
Go see it. ๐๐
Let the dad era begin.
