The Whale

6.8/10 stinky bananas

Pretty good.

This movie is not rewatchable at all. That's not an indictment on the movie, but I can't envision myself casually firing up The Whale on a Sunday afternoon to kill a couple of hours. I rather watch 10 hours of Below Deck: Sailing.

I don't like any of the characters. They all stink. Am I supposed to feel sympathy for Brendan Fraser because he's 9000 pounds? The guy eats a bucket of fried chicken and 10 pizzas everyday. Oh my god, so sad! The bible kid is beyond irritating. The notion that the daughter was trying to help the bible kid is laughable. She was trying to bury him in a mountain of shit.

Having said that, Brendan Fraser's performance is pretty good. I don't think it was oscar-worthy, but whatever, I like Brendan Fraser so good for him.

The best part of the movie is when Brendan Fraser eats a bunch of random shit and then immediately pukes. Fucking hilarious scene. The ending is also solid. Wrapped it up well.

The Whale is skippable. Just YouTube the scene where he eats and then pukes. It's very funny.
