‘Don’t Look Up’ attempts satire, nearly misses
The film is delightfully comedic, weaving together elements of romance and comfort even in its darkest moments. Despite trifling its tone, the film’s core narrative is effective and solid enough for an audience to inevitably root for its mishmash group of heroes.

Jonah Hill’s directorial debut ‘Mid90s’ has a lot in common with 1995, like mediocrity
