I saw Drugstore June on Amazon Prime and it is a very interesting movie. It's the kind of movie that either you'll love it or hate it but I do think it may develop a cult following. It's kind of like Napolean Dynamite with the dry comedy and awkward situation but also a look at today's younger generation. The main character is pretty unlikeable (on purpose) as a ditzy, influencer that says everybody is cringey but she is the cringiest person of all.
The movie is about a young girl living with her parents and working at a drugstore when it gets robbed, so she decides to use her (limited) skills to investigate and grow up while getting over her ex-boyfriend.
The family dynamic was pretty funny between her brother, gambling dad, and overly positive mom. She is a hateable character but also funny to laugh at her. The story was a bit all over the place with no real direction, which kinds of reminds of Napolean as well. I think it's the kind of movie that most people will hate it, but through all the annoying parts of society that it's making fun of, I think it gives a good look at today's society. I can definitely see a movie like this becoming a cult movie years from now, or be a complete bust.
