Netflix Adds an Extremely Crazy Movie, and Viewers Are Weighing In

By John Connor Coulston

Netflix added Sorry to Bother You, one of the wildest comedies in recent memory, to its catalog in March, and viewers are sounding off after watching. Sorry to Bother You, which The Coup frontman Boots Riley directed, is a fantastic and oddball movie starring LaKeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yeun and Danny Glover. It's all about a young slacker (Stanfield) doing what he can to make more money and improve his position in life, all while navigating a relationship with his anti-capitalist artist girlfriend (Thompson).

While that might sound simple, there are plenty of strange and ridiculous turns along the way. We don't want to spoil the most insane turn of the whole flick, but just know it goes in an extreme, out-of-this-world direction. As PopCulture.com's own Stephen Andrew wrote, it was "the most creative film" of 2018. While it is surely not for everyone, it definitely will elicit strong responses from Netflix viewers. Scroll through to watch the trailer for the movie and see what people have been saying about Sorry to Bother You.
