22. There's only one good thing about this movie

It was made in Metro Detroit, so other than bringing some much needed revenue to the local economy, I can't see what's so great about it.

Unfortunately, Gov Snyder put an end to the tax breaks for movie productions in this state. While it was effect, movie production exploded here, now that it's gone, so are the incentives. The word was once out to Hollywood that Michigan was open for business and that was for both good movies and bad ones alike.

Whatever that they were making, come here and spend your money, I say. It's all green.

The Michigan GOP, I have no idea why they do half the shit that they do, but since they've taken over this state, most of it makes absolutely no sense.
