I'm sure the movie is absolute dogshit, but all their criticisms boil down to rewriting movies with even bigger cliches.
Referring to Jack Blacks character: "it really should have been, like, there's there's that weird house, and in that weird house was a weird guy and he vanished you know five years ago, and well there's a mystery, AND THEN you get sucked into the world. But it's a small town, everyone has stories about that guy, but nobody's seen him in 30 years"
How many movies have you seen with this plot?
