Movie review - "The People We Hate at the Wedding" (2022) **1/2

 Once I knew the writers wrote for Bob's Burgers I couldn't unsee it from this film - that's a very clever, funny show but the humour that works with animation doesn't quite carry. Maybe it's a directorial issue or maybe just taste. The film's a little smart arsey and annoying - I don't know how else to describe it. It relies on inappropriate rooting to get laughs, people are constantly selfish and then apologising. Even the cameos were a bit annoying (Lizzy Caplan, Tony Goldwyn). I mean, good on them, I guess. There's some funny bits like the threesome and decent heart towards the end.
