“The story is weak, but it will have to do.”
“It's extremely short, it doesn't really follow any particular storyline, it focuses on pop-culture references and bad jokes even harder and becomes a parody of itself.”
“The storyline is very weak; basically, one of the heroes gets a brain implant and they travel to the future to get it removed via plastic surgery. That's it.”
