The equation is simple - Demi Adejuyigbe shared that he was part of this animated film in his Instagram story and I determined to watch it.
It was playing in an independent theatre nearby and I caught a showing today. The voice cast is studded and stuffed with comedic talent. The plot is that Billy 5000, a Florida high school student, drops out of school to exploit a currency glitch in a food delivery app. He hopes to make enough money to be able to move out from his nurse sister's garage. He has buddies who hang out and have no greater ambition than to snag cool stuff, freestyle rap original songs, and find out whether there is really an alien worm washed up at the local beach. There is a different plot concerning a local juice tycoon's difficulties with her brilliant, but unmotivated daughter who has vague ideas about capitalism's evils and wants to be called "Rozebud".
This movie is genuinely the most fun I have had at a movie this year. There are musical interludes and excellent bits of dialogue throughout. I was often delighted by how much space was given for time to breathe to sustain a joke or build anticipation in timing the set up for a new one.
