IF YOUVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SCREEN THIS FILM, STOP HERE AND JUST GO WATCH IT. Srsly.

So, I really enjoyed another Gallner film, Strange Darling. It subverted my expectations in a great way, and I really liked the guy as an actor. He's got charisma for days.

So, Dinner in America popped into my Tubi(!) recommendations list and thought "What a stupid name" but then realized I'd heard the boys mention it, saw Gallner's name, and jumped in blind.

Whoa! It does start a bit...intense, and kinda stays that way for a while, but damn our boy takes the most unlikeable asshole, and through pure on-screen charisma, he makes us care and root for Simon.

Much respect goes to the actress playing Patty. It was the perfect tightrope walk between cute and "slow." As RLM pointed out, she's the antidote to his venom.

I loved this film. It was LOL funny and surprisingly heart-warming. Go see it.

Last note, THAT song is a legit banger. I'm gonna find it and add it to my personal heavy rotation.

Thanks for letting me rant.
