    Ha ha. It’s easy to make that point just from the text but I remember watching a video comparing the comedy of it.

    Here is an evil YT link - https://youtu.be/jsxa2tOWs6w

    I really wanted to like it. I did enjoy Afterlife. Was a little iffy on them using kids but whatever. Their heart was in the right place.

      I thought Afterlife was solid, Actors were good, plot was believable, cameos were great. The reboot just tried too hard to be funny where it wasn’t, and felt more like those SNL skits in years where it didn’t click. I’s a great example of why reboots should be a rare thing driven by a working plot and not done just because someone thinks it’s a good idea or for a cash grab on a franchise.

      I’m a pretty outspoken feminist but it was obvious from the trailers alone that the entire hook of the movie was “this time with WOMEN!”
