Green Book is definitely a crowd pleaser. I enjoyed it. Everyone I saw it with, family and friends, liked it or loved it. I don't think it's a perfect movie by any means, but the hate for it is way overblown.

Green Book 2: This Time We Look Through the Actual Book

Oscar number two, here we come?!

Viggo is such a talented actor and could work with any director on Earth. Why Peter Farrelly, again?

Will they speak for another person of color's story? Maybe Viggo will be the valiant prison guard who stood by eating sandwiches during Gandhi's hunger strike. Great story about the bond they formed, as told by Viggo's character as India separated from Great Britain.

Greenbook = Racist. If you can’t see that, go watch GET OUT.

Be still my heart!

Interesting!

With each thought i have about Green Book, it gets worse

To be fair, if you read the description this seems to be much more in Farrelly's wheelhouse than Greenbook, which also to be fair, I have not watched.

That terrible, I hate Green Book.

Excellent

That’s great, I loved Green Book.

Film twitter about to get mad lol
