"Don't Look Up" is one long-ass movie

But it's good and you have to be alert and quick to catch all the jokes and references in it. It took me over half the movie to realize that it was Cate Blanchet playing the female TV personality Brie Evantee. That was pretty amazing. I swear Jonah Hill has play so many sleazy characters, but the role of the son of President Meryl Streep makes me really want to smack him. Hope I never meet him cause I am not sure, even though these are just roles, I don't know if I could resist.

Considering the multi-level meanings here and the superb acting and directing, this is really the best comedy of the year, maybe the decade. I was not expecting "Don't Look Up" to be so good. I thought a few minutes of this movie would be all I could take. Very pleasantly surprised.

yeah, it was about 20 minutes too long, some of the Ariana stuff could have been cut or edited down. I went into it expecting to hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised that I payed attention and enjoyed the whole movie. Cate was awesome though, man, she was hot too. The hair sniffing scene had me laughing hard, I almost missed it and had to rewind to make sure what I saw. Overall it was a decent movie and good analysis into the decline of our civilization.

I'm surprised you think so. I'd say it was much more than decent.

I didn't feel that it was too long.

And I enjoyed every minute of it so.

I would rather have a long, good, enjoyable movie than 2 boring or stupid ones.

Well, runtime-wise its no longer than your average superhero movie.
