I just saw the movie and I don't think it's a bad movie by any means but I find it to be a very curiously jarring movie tonally.
It feels like a combination of the movies Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The Matrix.
GWCTD in the sense that it has the same trope of a someone who brings home a new SO to introduce her parents to, but knows the parents will not approve of the new choice of SO.
And then it turns into The Matrix in the sense that the characters are introduced to this sci-fi/fantasy alternate reality, and the only way to deal with is through acrobatic martial arts fighting.
But I find it very tonally jarring that the writers felt these two genres should meet. Is it just me and no one else found this to be jarring perhaps?
Thank you for any writing input on this! I really appreciate it!
