Angry old reactionary man who constantly complains about lattes and hybrid cars makes friends with young hippy idiots whom he berates the entire movie while teaching them how to be a 'real adult' but also they end up bonding because he secretly has a heart of gold or some shit.
If I wanted to hear a self important chud boomer make snide remarks for 2 hours I'd visit my parents.
i can totally watch vigilantism slop, but i can't deal with straight up hegemonic discourses. there's this Direct To Steam flick with morgan freeman and cole hauser called "The Ritual Killer" that i had to shut off, because literally the story is about a white american cop investigating a serial killer who is an african immigrant doing scary exotic ritual serial killings, and morgan freeman plays the consultant-anthropologist who, besides helping track the killer, teaches naive college kids that non-western cultures are evil and incompatible with progress.
i kept waiting for it to give a signal that this insanely reactionary trope would be subverted, but after about 30 minutes of boilerplate copaganda, i shut it off disgusted. do better, cole hauser.

lol, definitely. though in the case of the movie, it was more like, "oh you think being able to read and write and do science is cool? well these exotic people are brain eating murderers who hate reading and writing and science."
