Saw this last weekend, this was messed up! And I mean that in a good way. I love Jordan Peele's work and this one was entertaining and thought provoking.

I liked it. Not sure how thought provoking it was. But I enjoyed it none the less.

I think Jordan Peele has some views on gentrification, race relations, etc. that seep through the film that are interesting.
