I saw the trailer and thought it looked good,
but the full film is basically 20 minutes of the same 4 or 5 jokes which don't get any funnier, sadly.

The Onion has really lost its mojo since the real news turned completely bizarro and robbed them of their USP.
The whole fixation about Epstein being a peado is lazy as fuck, technically inaccurate, detracts from the noncey shit he was actually doing, and indirectly harms attempts to make genuine paedos seek help before they potentially go on to offend.
The Stranger published a pretty decent article about it all a few years back. Labelling him a paedo is almost like claiming his actual crimes weren't sufficiently noncey, which is utter bollocks.

That article was interesting
What's the difference between a paedo and a nonce?
