SnoopyStyle - 11 February 2024 so cool Jabari (Kid Cudi) is a hip street artist in New York City. He has a great new apartment and a job at a comic book company. He hooks up with former flame Carmen (Laura Harrier), but he claims to be off relationships. That is until he meets his new next door neighbor Meadow (Jessica Williams).
I love the animation which is very similar to the Spider-verse. This is uber cool and urban. Kid Cudi delivers his coolness and his music which only adds to the overall vibe. The only drawback is the story drama. There is a misunderstanding which doesn't have the highest of tension. I thought they might do something bigger with his job. This is a sweet romance with great coolness.
mohaalsami - 11 July 2023 Woah!! What a great animated movie i loved everything
The scenes ,The editing ,The plot ,The romance.
Everything was spectacular it is not a heavy movie its like an appetizer or a snack
Just so simple and basic not that much of a deep story
I really liked the animation style from the characters until the backgrounds
It was truly unexpected for me like at first I wasn't even excited to watch it but suddenly it started to get my attention.
There is nothing complicated in the movie and you can expect the end from the begging but its so good that even though you'll keep watching no matter what truly a masterclass.
nichelsearobinson-18552 - 25 January 2023 Best adult Animation To intertwined art, fashion, music and love I couldn't have asked for anything more. Such a creative way of creating an adult animation that's relatable and honest. I love the complexities of Jabari trying to juggle love, friendship and work. It's something we all do everyday. I felt like through this movie, I've met some like Jabari; chill, honest, charming and super creative. And what make him even more cool was that his art I could see around big cities like New York, Oakland or even Los Angeles. I can honestly say this movie made me fall in love with Jabari, lol. And the music brought the animation together. I would watch this over and over agin. Hell, maybe have this a first date movie :) Kenya Barris is such an amazing director. I hope there is more to this series.
P. S those who said this series was boring and predictable wasn't looking at the bigger picture. Is shivery completely dead, we can't appreciate it when we see it in films???
nadavdatla - 27 October 2022 Innovative cliche If you are fans of adults animation you got to the right address.
The movie is creative and gives some tonic vibes.
It's refreshing to see this movie and it is nice to see something that doesn't alike any movie that on the big screen.
The characters are relatable and easy to identify with.
The soundtracks and the songs on the movie are really good and gives cool vibes.
Although the animation and the shots were unique
It wasn't the case for the plot.
It was kind of usual classic love story. The plots twist were predictable and on the first half of the movie you could see where it's going to.
And even though it was a cliche it didn't catch me in my feelings and I didn't fluster so much even from the emotional scenes.
jasonanudu - 15 October 2022 It's basic, nothing exciting. I see what they were trying to do on Entergalactic but it just didn't land.😐
I had to force myself to finish this, can't even count the number of times I paused and decided to do something else.
It's just another love story with a basic story, dialogue and scenes. Mostly sex, weed and vibes, the whole mr rager thing was kind of sidelined which was disappointing because I'm a comic guy and I really wanted that part fleshed out properly.
Jabari and Meadow's romance had it's cool moments and the animation looked good but that was just about it.
I saw someone in the reviews say the movie felt like a promotional video and I have to agree.
