Everything Everywhere All at Once

Move over Spiderman, move over Dr. Strange, the multiverse just got a little bit more fun than just three Spidermans jumping around; it's now got Kung Fu battles wearing/firmly-inserted anal butt plugs and cheese-string finger people! Say what?! Welcome to the second film from 2022 to arrive on my blog and one which will likely to be nominated for a best picture Oscar next year, "Everything Everywhere All at Once." What's it all about? Well, besides from everything, it's a family dramedy about a Chinese family who runs a coin laundry shop which is being audited by the IRS - things are not looking good! The auditor is played by Jamie Lee Curtis and she is a hoot (best supporting nomination coming her way). The star of the show, is Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, the wife, mother and co-owner of the laundry mat. She will be getting her best acting nomination for sure. What a performance! Anyway, there is an everything bagel force moving across the multiverse and Evelyn is recruited to stop it - I really don't want to try and explain more. At the heart of the movie is the exploration of the relationships between parents and their kids, between marriage partners, and the cultural differences between generations of an immigrant family. It's a tapestry woven and borrowed from , "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," Jackie Chan fight scenes I, "Brazil," "Ratatouille," and "Sliding Doors" which all lays atop a body of deep existential angst. It's a bloody head trip and a hell of a ride. Strap in, grab the safety bar and hold on tight, this shit is bananas fun. Catch it at your local cinema now.
