Why does it matter if it's a quality TV show or a movie? Good content is good content. If they want to invest $200m making a good movie I think that's well spent money? I'm not seeing the issue really. 

What I really don't like about Netflix is the whole model of releasing too many stuff and seeing what sticks. But that's a winning formula for them that I don't think will ever change lol

It's a 6/10 movie on IMDB, here a 7/10 review

Everyone needs to just calm down, we're not watching The Godfather ll here

Was it the greatest movie ever? No, but it's not supposed to be. It's a free new movie on Netflix and it wasn't as bad as everyone said it would be. Especially if you're a fan of Pratt or Brown. If you must, go into it with low expectations and I believe you will be pretty satisfied with this movie. It had heart, some light laughs and decent music. I would watch this movie with my kids again and probably enjoy it even more. Give it a chance. You're not spending $50 to see it in a theatre. It's just the cost of your Netflix subscription so it's worth it.

Free movie? As a matter of fact, I'm spending CAD 252 a year now for this... I've mostly been keeping Netflix for old content, but that's going to run out pretty soon. They spend 320 million subscriber money to make a 6/10 movie.

It's fine, just makes it easier to cancel in the future if they keep this up. The misguided dream/promise of subscriptions leading to higher quality is just that, misguided.

My PS6 is gonna be funded by their incompetence. I'll install Neflix on that ps6 and reassess the service but I'm cutting all sub services asides from YouTube Premium which is actually useful. It's all so shite, my government funded network along with VODs from the British Channel 4 and Virgin media all for free is easily enough content for me in the mean time and then buy in for a month at then end of the year if their is anything award winning. 

Btw, whom are you quoting, I couldn't find that comment in the thread above.
