A quirky young woman with an English accent (who apparently plays pajamas in her pajamas, which I can respect) reviews Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is as if Morrissey had a teenage daughter with access to YouTube and a fascination for transforming robots.
“I am not gonna sugarcoat it: This film was really, really, really, really, really bad… It was worse than Transformers 3, which was really bad in itself. If possible, I’d want to completely erase it from my mind, along with the disappointment and bitterness I am currently experiencing after the letdown that this film was. Not just as a Transformers fan and along with my childhood that has been completely destroyed… like my memories for what the actual Transformers are and what they stand for and the franchise as a whole, but just as a moviegoer, this film really sucked!”

Obvious Child…
I thought the female lead in this film was developmentally disabled, but it turns out that she’s just “edgy.” NPR describes Donna Stern as “an aspiring standup comic in her late 20s who’s out of her depth in the grown-up world.” Huh? She’s almost thirty. She is in fact a member of the adult world. She is an adult. She has been for more than a decade. There are soldiers who went off to Iraq at eighteen and served a few tours who are in fact younger than this film’s titular woman child.
Per NPR: “She’s a big baby, someone who can’t take care of herself, let alone a little baby.”
Dear God. Also, screenwriters attempting to model your characters’ speech patterns after Buffy and Juno, those characters were teenagers.
