Quartile rating: 5.5/10 · 1 rating
One-man armies, meet-cutes, casual strolls away from huge explosions — stars and industry insiders toast and roast these cinematic chestnuts and more.
A light Netflix documentary that gathers talking heads to riff on well-worn movie tropes. Mildly entertaining but thoroughly formulaic in its own right — the irony of a cliché-roasting special being itself a cliché of the clip-show talking-head format is not lost. Nothing in the cinematography, structure, or comedic insight rises above the serviceable. Novelty is low precisely because the format and premise have been done many times before (Everything Wrong With, Honest Trailers, similar specials). A pleasant but wholly average piece of content across the board.
