I got bored so I checked out awful movies wiki

I'm about to go full autist right here, but:
What in the fuck is My Life as a Courgette/Zuchinni doing there?

It has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.8 on IMDb, quite a few film critics even named it one of the best films of that year (Captain Contrarian Armond White named it the best animated film of the last few years, Mark Kermode put it I think #8 on his favorites of 2016) and it's probably in my top 3 favorite films of the decade.

1. What does that mean, recorded the camera movements from an in iPhone? They looked perfectly still the entire movie and it looked good. Second, you can totally make a movie shot on an iPhone and still have it look good. Look at Unsane, shot entirely on an iPhone and released in actual theaters.

2. It's meant to invoke a typical child's finger painting, it's a stylistic choice.

3. it's PG-13 for "Thematic Material and Suggestive Elements." (according to the back of my Bluray) Crude nude drawings are considered "suggestive elements" and it's a Swiss-French film, the French don't give two fucking shits about that sort of thing. Another thing, nudity is perfectly fine in a PG-13 movie as long as it's not for sexual purposes. Titanic and fellow french film Triplet's of Bellville also have nudity and it's still PG-13.

4. again, what's the problem? (In all seriousness, Simon was a bit of a prick in the movie so it makes sense)

5. He was far from the worst behaving person in that movie.

6. She snuck in, when Courgette wasn't looking. Second, it's just a movie.

7. I've seen it 4 times, twice in English, twice in French. While I prefer the original French, the English dub wasn't bad either.

Then again, what the fuck do I expect from a user named "Pinky Malinky"? A cartoon so awful that Nickelodeon actually ditched it and gave it to Netflix.

The only REAL problem with the film is that it's only a little over an hour long.
/end sperging.

What's worse is "Pinky Malinky" is possibly French, given that he knows what's in the original dub. France really has gone to hell if that's the case. Granted, he could've just looked the script for the original dub online (if such a thing exists) and used Google Translate to read it. Or he could've just learned the language, but I refuse to believe someone proficient in two languages is stupid enough to make a review this bad.

Bluray comes with the original French with an accurate English translation, and the dub and subtitles for the dub

I believe he just watched it with those settings.

This is pretty weak, just like TV Tropes and other similar websites they're a subjectivity magnet so expecting citations and detailed comparisons is naive, except unlike TV Tropes they're dead half the time and therefore don't have the ultra sensitive, autistic community around them. It's like poking roadkill.
