So, what did people think? Since I'm pretty sure this is going to be the movie everyone is going to ask me about for the next little while...
Personally, I thought it was ok, but more didn't live up to its potential. Like, started fun, and I loved the cast, but JFC it was definitely an hour too long and I think it's tough to hew the line of satire and "this is serious and you should care," and I'm not sure they hit that mark. But happy to hear what others think.

I rated it at 3.5 of 5 stars. Based on the buzz surrounding this movie, I expected better. Jennifer Lawrence was superb.

I have not seen it. The critics like it too much.

Yes, exactly. I thought Leo did a great job as an astronomer.
The only funny thing now is "AILF" is totally a thing everyone around me wants to toss around, but knows is 100% inappropriate.
