Forgot I watched this a while back. Feel like it is more for fans of the Smith series than fellow Donald Glover fans.
Don't get me wrong, he's solid in this....and there are guest drop-ins a plenty. I guess it's nice to see him operating with a huge budget. I don't think he booked this to get a series of location vacations, instead I think he did it for a chance to work with Maya Erskine. He even cops a move from her *outstanding* Pen15 series, and Donald has his real mom in a sweet role.
As "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" features go, it has its moments. Ron Perlman as an aged proto-child for the Smiths was fun. Hard not to love Parker Posey, but wasn't crazy about her cross between GI Jane and a Stepford Wife.
I assume Glover is creative even at a fast-food drive thru. So there are enough morsels here to satisfy a craving. Not sure I felt the onscreen chemistry between his and Maya's characters (compare the laughter in their promo interviews vs the laughter between them in the shows).
I don't think the movie is a comment on online dating, but I kind of wish it were. And I definitely hope it is not a comment on the budget that the "Deep State" has.
I *do* think it is an homage to the Smith Franchise, just not one I was jonesing for.
