Attack of the Hollywood Clichés!

...That love whining about how unoriginal Hollywood, they can whine about this. It's short and I enjoyed it. It's definitely tongue in cheek.

Kinda like a live action version of TV Tropes. However tends to lean heavily into a very "woke" commentary. From denigrating everyone involved in the Hays Code to criticizing white people as being automatically bad.

Hosted by Rob Lowe, the Netflix documentary Attack of the Hollywood Clichés takes us through the history of the most common clichés used throughout movie history.

As a lifelong film fan, I'm familiar with several of the clichés covered in the documentary. Sure there's a few that I agreed with, but there were parts that left me wondering, "Why would you cover that?" but I guess it's relevant. No need to get all woke on segments such as racism, gender and sexuality. That stuff is outdated anyway and it doesn't fit in with modern day audiences.

It's nothing groundbreaking that hasn't been covered before, but Attack of the Hollywood Clichés certainly fills the time.

6/10.

This Netflix special has a great sense of purpose, but it's not as focused as it could be if it was. It's a bit like a Spit -Take or Montage mode, and it's full of all the crazy facts that come from a fake scare called the Luton Bus, as well as the story of Willem's screams. It's not as thoughtful as it could be, but since it's only an hour, you can probably still watch it on your free weekends and pass it along to your cinema-loving friends. The problem is that it's not as funny as it should be, and it's not as irreverent as it could be. It's got the same lazy familiarity of the Hollywood movies it's trying to mock.

Switched it off before it ended. An unnecessary, uninspired and unfunny list of clichés that despite some (semi-)stars showing up is not better than random lists one can find on Youtube, trying to get your views with the lowest investment.

As clichéd as the tropes it wants to highlight, sprinkled with obvious woke remarks that frustrate rather than inspire or give insight.
