You ever not know you needed something, like, say, a hug, until someone gives you one without provocation and you're kinda just overwhelmed with the realization that, hey, I really did need that and didn't realize it? That's the best way I can describe watching this movie just now.
I was pretty excited to see this when it released earlier in the year but kept missing the opportunities and then the hype got out of control. I don't believe in…
