$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

Art, like love, must always be free.

I'm also happy I'll never watch this film

I can understand not being interested in the movie or the price point or digital "ownership", but why does it make them scammers to offer the purchase at a price that heavily amortizes down the cost per viewing?

The rental price is on par with two theater tickets and they're not playing games with pretending like the purchase price should be double because you plan to watch it at least twice.

Couldn't finish the movie, it was such trash.... I'm happy I didn't pay to watch it at least.

Me and my girlfriend laughed maybe 3 times and then the yawning started... This movie is made for small kids right? Otherwise I don't understand why it's popular.
