I never cared much for their music. Growing up in Argentina where the Beatles were huge, we all cared little for their music, which was stuck in the Beatles' very early pop years (as early as 1965, they have already turned into a top adult band, with jewels like Yesterday and In My Life, so the Monkees were born already obsolete). But as I had never watched the show, I decided to watch one episode ("Monkees On The Line") in Youtube.
Huge, huge mistake.
The thing is not as bad as I had assumed: it is worse. The canned laughter, the fake youth exhuberance, the jokes as old as dust, the truly dumb guys pretending to play a dumb guy... it's not that I can't enjoy 60s American TV; some things are more than watchable. But certainly not this one.

... it's impossible not to see that this "fantasy" movie was, sadly, prescient.
Mike Judge placed the action some 500 years in the future. Looks like his clock ran free for a while -for it's been only 12 years, and we're almost there... Suffice to say, if a real life Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho ever runs for President, I'll have to give him a minimally serious consideration.
But no electrolytes for me, thanks.

Once upon a time (and before there was CGI), some (not all) American movies dealt with real people, with real problems, and (again, some of them) did not need to sugarcoat their lives.
A never ending series of mind numbing flicks starring superheroes, gooey murdering aliens and car chases buried all that pretty deep. But every now and then, a brave director digs in the ground and rescues that kind of human drama for the current viewers.
Welcome to "The Florida Project".
Without including any spoilers (the movie deserves so much support, even if it comes years after its release), I can say that the characters are absolutely human and deeply interesting, even when they are being disgusting, and that having crazy talented, lovable kids in front does not hurt.
Please support movies like this. They are relatively cheap to make it, so they don't need to compete with the latest blockbuster to allow their directors and producers another shot: just earn a modest profit.
