Not every movie gets a happy ending, sweetie. What did you think? The internet would be restored magically, Rose could watch the last episode of Friends somewhere other than a bunker? The deer and flamingoes would become friends and live peacefully together ever after?

I am shocked by the negative reviews but as another PP said, this isn't a very "deep" group. In fact it's a rather dim group.

I think it would have been better if the boy got better from the medicine and the families were reunited. They could have all been in the bunker and bonded and then come out afterwards.

DP. Use your imagination! Rose hears Amanda calling for her, so obviously we know Amanda is close by and she was heading towards the house anyway. Clay and George were heading back at the same time. Of course they’re all going to meet up there and ride out the war. Maybe they’ll survive, maybe not. But we know they’ll be safe for a good long while. Not everything has to be spelled out.

And that’s the nature of war. Uncertainty, fear, indiscriminate killing, hunger, disease. People wishing the boy would “get better” are being unrealistic. We don’t even know what he has exactly.

Exactly. That kid is not "getting better."

I thought it was realistic that a young person of color might have more distrust of white people (in 2023) than their parents. I liked that the movie addressed that.

I thought she was incredibly rude, obnoxious, and full of herself. Of course the Julia Roberts character was leery about letting two complete strangers in the house, much less letting them spend the night - her husband should have been just as concerned. Their race had nothing to do with that. I wouldn't have let two strangers in, regardless of what they looked like. And then the daughter tells her father that Clay wants to have sex with her. As if.

Indeed, her not wanting to let them in was racist. Didn't believe "they" could own a house like that when Julia and family were just renting it for the weekend. YOU sound like you have some issues of your own, especially your "as if" comment. PP , you sound simply dreadful.

So wait a minute. Let's say it's you and your family in the role of the family renting the AirBnB. A man and woman appear at your door and claim to be the owners - but have no ID and no proof whatsoever. They ask to stay in the house with you (and your children). Let's hear how you would have reacted - and take their race out of it entirely. Would you not have been leery of these two strangers? You're saying you would have allowed them in to spend the night with you and your family, not knowing who the hell they were? Wow! What an open-minded, saintly person you must be. And a total idiot, to boot.

And the "as if" comment was in reference to the arrogant girl thinking that Clay wanted to have sex with her when there was no hint whatsoever that he was coming on to her - quite the opposite, in fact.

I was somewhat in agreement with the pp until the "as-if" comment. Clay wanted to have sex with her. How did you miss the energy during the vaping scene? Clay's son wanted too as well; did you also miss that? She's cute-- men want to have sex with good looking women. Would love to hear you explain your way out of the comment, lol.

I'm the "as if" poster. Yes, the son wanted to have sex with her. The dad (Clay)? Nope. They were vaping together - how does that make him interested in her sexually? SHE asked HIM if he had ever had sex with a student. SHE was clearly coming on to him. He was just hanging out. In what world do you think he was interested in her?

Interesting to see the range of opinions about this movie. I agree with those who felt it was terrible. So cliché! I really wanted to like it but it was a stinker.

I love this argument about the intentions two viewers perceived after seeing the exact same scene. This happens to me all the time in real life situations where people assume they can read intentions and often end up shocked at how wrong they were.

The ending was perfect to me despite not being a Friends fan, I loved that ending for the kid. She is the one I'd expect to have the most trouble dealing with the situation but she decided she would go out to take what she needed and boy did she find it. It was a neat silver lining happy ending but doesn't blindly negate the fubar situation. I remember being a kid that had to miss a show's final episode (before dvr and multiple airings). That loss hit hard and stuck with me for years. I was so mad at my dad who made us leave for some urgent errand while completely dismissing my own urgent complaints.

It was a lot better than Family Plan - ugh.

Agreed. The poster above claims that those of us who hated it must be "dim" and not "deep." Weanwhile, it's the most shallow, predictable, cliched piece of garbage I have seen in years. I mean, the Teslas piling up on the road? Just laughable, the whole thing. Not one clever thing about it.

I'm the "didn't you see the energy" poster. You clearly don't pick up on nuance and cues beyond the surface. I guess you also thought the scene with Marshala and Julia dancing was just them "kidding" around, right lol? Both scenes are examples of what leads to two people ending up in bed together. Serious question--Are you new to Earth?

IMO Clay just seems kind of clueless. The daughter was zoomer provocative in all aspects. They're playing stereotypes.

Like many men, he wasn't clueless; he had perfected the art of seeming clueless to play dumb when they got caught. The minute the young woman started asking provocative/sexual questions was the minute the professor should have shut it down. The world was ending, and he was interested. Period (or "Periodt" as the zoomers say)

Amanda and George dancing, flirting, and wanting to sleep together? Sure. Clay and Ruth chatting while vaping? She certainly seemed interested in him - he seemed oblivious to her in that way. It seems YOU clearly don't pick up on nuance, see two people together, and immediately assume they're both interested in one another. Ruth was definitely coming on to Clay. He may have thought she was attractive, but he wasn't in any way acting interested in her. You seem very simple.

DP. How did he not shut it down? He scoffed at her stupid question. He could have run with it and shown interest in her, but he did not. And how did they "get caught"? Doing what? By whom?
