  • The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.

  • Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.

    the movie was pretty bad…

    i described it to my friend like this, and had to double verify that i was not joking; this actually happened in the movie:

    the movie didnt know what it wanted to be. it flipped back and forth between a mediocre comedy and an ultra-serious drama so quickly that when someone gets shot, goes into surgery and the tone changes to somber the audience is left to believe an important character just died… “GuESs wHAt TiME iT iS?!” and happy breakout into song and dance.

    i just couldnt after that and left.

      I mean, my favourite TV show does that all the time! Scrubs can swap on a dime. Then again it’s made by the masterful Bill Lawrence.

        I would say it works in Scrubs because it breaks the rules of how you should handle it. They knew what they were doing well enough to make it work anyway. Most of the time it’ll probably not work, but if you’re a master then you can take the rules and break them to your advantage.
