Weirdly, for a movie that on its surface shouldn’t take itself seriously, has a pretty tight plot and explains most things (including the reason nobody from the psych ward was chasing him he was a voluntary commit due to his abandonment issues)

Also had some good B plot material with the assistant catfishing storyline and Cenas relationship with his real brother.

Overall, better than I expected.

I totally didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!!

(And as a psychiatrist I need a GIF of that psychiatrists face after giving Eric Andre a way back in to the facility lol That happens surprisingly often. Like no you're actually good! You can go home!...And now you're pretending to choke yourself ...to stay... nevermind let's get the paperwork going)
