Look on the Bright Side

I don’t recall how our next film jumped the Netflix queue, but it did. The Best and Brightest, a comedy about a family’s journey through the hypercompetitive world of admissions into New York City’s elite private kindergartens, knocks down the low-brow low bar set by our first selection. The film received a lowly 26% approval rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which only goes to show that critics are mature.

For those of us whose humor spectrum is more developed and/or accepting, we may find it difficult to suppress our snickers during the film’s many ridiculous scenes—especially the ones featuring the illustrious Amy Sedaris.

While it’s the worst movie I’ve seen in 2012, it’s also the second best, and so I recommend you stay away from it unless your glow of immaturity shines as brightly as mine.
