Vengeance (2022)

[StatisticalOutlier]

Written and directed by Ryan, from The Office. 

The movie is a fish-out-of-water story, but takes digs at the fish himself, in addition to Texans.  I know a thing or two about West Texans, and their portrayal didn't bug me in the least. 

The movie is also a commentary on current times, and actually made me do some thinking afterward and I fear the only way we're going to start coexisting with each other again is in the metaverse.  Surprisingly deep thinking after a fun movie with some real laugh-out-loud moments for me. 

BTW, Ashton Kutcher is excellent in this.

Funny, the biggest stereotype in this whole movie was John Mayer's douchebro.

I saw it last night and agree with everything you said here.  There was a time in the middle where it got really serious for a while, but the shift in tone was well done and didn't bother me at all.
