Thunder Force: The Crab Being the Funniest Thing

I hate it when good celebrities make bad, stereotypical movies.

Jokes about weight. Being a woman superhero. Nerd jokes. Your basic male-directed buddy comedy.

There was even an opportunity for a lesson – one spent her life being a ’80s slob and the other the perfect student who goes off to finish her parents work (the making of a superhero to fight…evil?). Even her daughter – 14 – graduated Stanford at 13 and is now working. No life. They mention the problem but then leave it alone.

Jason Bateman, god love him, is a mutated human crab. He has crab arms with pinschers. And omg. He only crabwalks out of scenes. He’s the funniest thing about this movie.

But again – there’s the problem: Octavia Spencer is an amazing actress, and Melissa McCarthy is a comedic genius. Why do we keep putting them in these really low-grade roles?

Unless Benny Falcone is the new Adam Sandler, and this is just fun for them? It doesn’t look fun. It looks painful.

Recommended for folks who like pain and want to watch Jason Bateman as a human crab.
