I watched it with my friends and we were totally derailed by when Guy says something like "Wow, it's like having sex in my mouth!" the first time he buys a coffee. That's supposed to be a line from when he's a normal NPC too.
We had a lot of criticisms of it but I can't remember any of it too well anymore. Looking back at the stuff we typed in our group chat:
- There's a really uncomfortable scene where the black guy gropes Dude sexually and it's played for laughs
- The IRL male protag is introduced as an asshole who's fucking with Guy but then later they want you to sympathize with him
- Plot structure is similar to all those live action adaptation movies of animated animal mascots like Woody Woodpecker or The Chipmunks where the villain is a corporate "I LOVE MONEY!" caricature
- The part where Guy beats Dude by
just using a bunch of Marvel references with the exact sound clips to boot was a huge eyeroll and felt super lazy - There's a point where there's a cliche climactic "Guy lost his way but kissing the girl restores him" scene and we checked the time and there was still a third of the movie left somehow, the pacing is insane
- One upside is the character design of Dude is amazing because of that underwear
