So I Googled it yesterday and saw that not only has it been in and out of theaters for a while now, it's streaming on the service I just cancelled.

What is it streaming on?

Paramount Plus

Haha, I tried to get my friend to watch it so we could review it but he couldn't stand all the silliness! He tapped out during the car functions part.

I finished the rest and was ok with it.

I'm wondering if the snowman thing is a reference to several killer living snowman b movies?

Also, I totally did not recognize Pamela Anderson.

Well, that was something that I certainly watched. I mean, I had some laughs here and there, but...I don't know. It just didn't hit quite right. I can't explain it, really. Like, the jokes...I mean, like I said, I had some laughs here and there. But for the most part, the jokes just didn't land right for me. It's like, they tried to make a screwball comedy, but they only went half way. They didn't push things as far as the old movies did.

It's like, the screwball comedy is kind of a dead art and as much as they tried to revive it here...it just felt, I don't know...lacking.

Was it just me?

You just can't beat the original with the meeting being crashed by Drebin all the way to the Nordberg flip. It's not like they tried to either, the ingredients were right but something was off, maybe the cinematography, soundtrack or lack of memorable scenes. like the car chase or 'nice beaver' scene of the original.
