    AV Club are down on it for what it’s worth:
    LaKeith Stanfield shines, but Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, and Tiffany Haddish are just foolish mortals in the latest attempt to adapt this Disney attraction

      It really doesn’t look all that good to me and that 40% rottentomatoes is surprising. Was not expecting it to be that low.

    This is what I said in another post:

    We went to see it last night and had a good time. It’s no classic, but there are several funny moments. It has some pretty big issues in general though. I will say that this movie made me feel like it could be something good in the right hands, these just weren’t the right hands.

    It’s a tough because there is some pretty good stuff there it just doesn’t hold together.

    Sorry - me again. Absolutely the wrong thread I know, but I can’t find a ‘meta’ one or something like that.

    I don’t know if it was in response to my previous comment, but "discussion_languages" has gone from [ 0 ] to just []. These are effectively the same thing - only allowing comments when ‘Unspecified’ is chosen, but stopping comments when ‘English’ is chosen.

    I’m guessing that someone has de-selected ‘Unspecified’ instead of selecting both ‘unspecified’ and ‘English’

    The user experience will depend on how their app/front-end handles these things, but - at the minute - it’s possible that they just get an unhelpful error message when they try to post or comment anything.

      Should be right now. Thanks for the update. You can always DM me or another mod for issues like this. Thanks.

      EDIT: Can you let me know if that resolved it? I’d like to remove these posts to not clutter up the thread too much with off-topic…

        Just saw your edit: it’s reading the same as other communities now. It’ll take a while to propagate through other instances I think, but you can clean up this clutter now.
