I honestly believe someone made this movie just to p..s off movie viewers. There is no way to explain the lack of logic in each and every character or the dozens upon dozens of clichés splattered here.
This movie had be to be written with a ChatGPT promptx otherwise, Sony just gave money for someone to direct this mess... And unfortunately, for some reason, IMBD still maintains the review of a length at gun point, like every person who ever reviewed a movie needs to be a journalist.
Again, the movie is a complete waste of time and not even the amazing Peter Stormare with all of his 20 seconds on screen saved it.

I won't deny that The Big Bang Theory is funny. Its clever dialogue, pop-culture references, and memorable characters made it a cultural phenomenon for good reason. But beneath the humor lies something far more troubling: the way it treats vulnerability, particularly through characters like Stuart Bloom.
Stuart's portrayal is, quite honestly, one of the cruelest things I've ever seen on television. He's lonely, struggling with depression, and financially unstable, yet instead of treating him with care or allowing him to grow, the show reduces him to a punchline. Each joke at his expense feels like a kick when he's already down. This isn't just unkind; it's heartbreaking.
Loneliness is not a trivial issue. It's the root cause of so many personal and societal problems, yet the show handles it with a casual disregard that borders on mockery. To laugh at Stuart's pain is to ignore the reality that many people live with every day; a reality that isolates them further.
The same can be said of Raj, whose social struggles are treated as recurring gags rather than explored with any depth. The show excels at exaggeration for humor, but often at the cost of empathy. It's one thing to poke fun at quirks; it's another to make a spectacle of genuine suffering.
Comedy is powerful. It can bring light to dark places, connect people, and challenge us to see the world differently. But when it's wielded carelessly, it alienates and wounds. The show had the chance to be more than just entertaining; it could have been kind. Instead, it too often chose cruelty masked as comedy, and that's something I can't laugh at.
