It just wasn't very good, I went in with high expectations but was disappointed. The last quarter was alright but the first 3/4 quarters were dull, basically. There were lots of lines and references from other films which almost entirely didn't work because they were so obvious and fell flat over and over. It was bizarrely sweary for no reason other than seemingly to get it a 15 certificate and prevent lots of its target audience from seeing it. It seemed like a dry run or first draft because none of it was thought through enough, detailed enough or basically good enough. The characters were all one dimensional even the leads you learned almost nothing about and they just kept adding more "kooky" characters when they should have fleshed out the ones they already had.
