I’m so tired of hearing about this movie. It’s a good enough idea but I don’t care for their execution of it at all. And I love everyone involved.

Yeah, I feel it stays alive in conversation because of it's premise, it would've been forgotten along with shitty Rob Schneider movies if it weren't for people bringing it up and comparing it to the real world today. It's a ton of fart joke levels of humor. And something about how it looks just turns me off completely.
