Yeah. A thoroughly mediocre movie, but I recently saw Everything Everywhere All at Once and there was a similar energy... I think. I don't remember this one all that well.

Yeah, that first image with 40 hipsters looking at a phone looked really stupid, then I spotted Josh Hutcherson of "Trapped On An Island With Josh Hutcherson" fame and remembered he was in a really stupid hipster movie called Detention.

I have no idea what Trapped on an Island is, but I also entirely forgot he was in this movie. I just remembered how hard it tried to be creative and fast and overproduced. It basically failed in the ways that Everything Everywhere All at Once succeeded... or it was kinda trying to be an Edgar Wright kinda thing or something. Not terrible, but not very good.

Overproduced is a good word. That first pic is brighter than most sitcoms. I remember them also taking shots at Scream, which is a far more clever and suspenseful horror sendup than Detention could ever hope of being.

Well the director came from a background in music videos and commercials (and has since gone back) and it shows. Obviously that works out many times those venues can be a great showcase for aesthetics and many quality directors have worked in those media... but sometimes that leap is not so easy to make. I also think a movie that looks like that could have been good.. but this one wasn't particularly.

This kid certainly looks familiar (and odd), but I can't place him...
