To no one's surprise, 'Dear Evan Hansen' is fucking terrible

[masterofmystery]

DEAR EVAN HANSEN: VERY bad. We must throw Ben Platt in movie jail and revoke his Tony for this all-time bad performance, but let Julianne Moore arrest him because she’s the saving grace in this poorly realized and tone-deaf trainwreck that hits much differently on screen #TIFF21

i saw some 'good' reviews for this too and i just don't believe them at all. i have a feeling it's gonna be emotionally manipulative too

DEAR EVAN HANSEN - Suspend disbelief beyond the musical tropes and snark about lead casting, it's a moving and effective take with exceptional performances, that takes a sticky story and makes it work within context of an emotional piece that earns its tears. #tiff21 pic.twitter.com/1APupMSwyl

It’s not perfect but I really enjoyed #DearEvanHansen! It’s way too long and a few of the musical numbers feel a tad out of place but it’s terrific cast & strong message make this such a heartwarming & uplifting watch that works way better than it ever should’ve of #TIFF21 pic.twitter.com/DIsmrXxkQQ

Did his dad pay these reviewers?

[unmellow_yellow]

Nope, I refuse to believe that Ben Platt is 28. Nope no this dude has to be at least 35. At fucking least.

[helliosx]

Right? He was at least 26 when he did Pitch Perfect back in 2012

it's same length of a marvel movie...at least there's a bunch of action scenes to be entertained by wtf does this have to offer the audience?!

Hopefully at least an hour of just Julianne Moore.

i saw an unfinished version of this in may and it honestly wasn’t that bad lmao these reviews are doing the most. i’m seeing it in its final form on tuesday so i guess i’ll have my real decision then but i will say the song they added for the shot at an oscar is garbage

"jail to everyone" is a grand three-word review

it's like they spackled makeup on him and it just settled into his wrinkles.

[sjazzmreow]

It's like the makeup dept misread the brief so thought they had to make him look older.

And they did a good job of it, because no one has ever looked this old.
