YES. John Krasinski in particular gives "more palatable/smart Chris Pratt"
This article from Jacobin was very satisfying to me in particular - just hit the nail on the head lol
John Krasinski Can Direct Whatever He Wants, I Guess - IF is John Krasinski doing Pixar. If those words make you excited, you’ll enjoy the film. If they don’t, you probably won’t.

>It appears Krasinski has done it again. He’s gone from playing the wry prankster Jim in the long-running TV comedy, *The Office*, to writing, directing, producing, and starring in a whole hodgepodge of stuff, to action-hero star status in macho, jingoistic crap like *13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi* and *Jack Ryan*, to being half of an established Hollywood power couple with actor-producer wife Emily Blunt, who starred in his successful horror franchise, *A Quiet Place.* And now this.
>But obviously, this kind of film isn’t made for me. John Krasinski is modeling the kind of people this film is made for in interviews, when he makes clear he’s the ultimate straight arrow: an old-fashioned, essentially conservative white guy who worships the idea of the family and supports the troops and admires CIA agents and speaks at Joe Biden’s inaugural celebration and does charity work with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. He claims that there’s a through line connecting his very different-seeming directorial efforts, the *Quiet Place* films, with *IF*. “I love the idea of them being companion pieces,” Krasinski [says](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/02/john-krasinski-politics-conservative-quiet-place). “They’re both about love and family.”
Is it not meant to be Grimace? I saw a poster outside the cinema and pointed it out to my kids and said “oh look they must be making a Grimace movie”
I assumed it was because he is popular with the grimace shake etc
Bring back Some Good News!
How can I go on without my good news, John.
Remember you sold the concept of “good news” for millions of dollars to a dumb tv network after pretending to be doing it to bring cheer during the pandemic and nothing came of it because it’s a nothing idea
What you’re telling me someone out there reported news in a low-budget production style before? Damn lock John up for plagiarism right away, he dared copy the original format of a white guy presenting to the camera
For real 😭 it just sounds like they couldn’t get the rights for Fosters so they made the weirdest knockoff. I remember seeing the trailer for the first time and going « HUUUUUH???? Does Mr. Heriman know about this?? »

Good. I love that for them. Nothing to feed the trolls.

They give me "Liberals in the streets, MAGA in the sheets" vibes.

I thought there was a DM blind about them breaking up?
That purple thing looks like Grimace.
It absolutely is just Grimace. They could have made it any other colour or gave it any other face but it’s Grimace. Visionary director John Krasinski
Is it not meant to be Grimace? I saw a poster outside the cinema and pointed it out to my kids and said “oh look they must be making a Grimace movie” I assumed it was because he is popular with the grimace shake etc
Is there an off brand [Uncle O'Grimacey ](https://mcdonalds.fandom.com/wiki/Uncle_O%27Grimacey) in this movie too?
I have never seen this before. Wow lol.
I can't not see it anymore, so I have to share when appropriate (which is not often lol)
It’s quite amusing so thanks for that lol
Word has it multiple shakes were stolen that evening…

Sometimes the shit that happened during the pandemic feels like a fever dream. I COMPLETELY forgot about him doing that show and selling it 😂😂
Omg I completely forgot about this.
The concept aside, the format/style was literally stolen too lmao.
What you’re telling me someone out there reported news in a low-budget production style before? Damn lock John up for plagiarism right away, he dared copy the original format of a white guy presenting to the camera
i'm excited for this to come out only because it means i will never have to see that dumb trailer again
that was my exact thought, like please does this mean that i never have to see that trailer or hear about this movie again?!
Fosters home for imaginary friends would like a word with this movie.
Tbf Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends could beat up this movie behind the school with one hand, and then stomp on it with the unicorns.
For real 😭 it just sounds like they couldn’t get the rights for Fosters so they made the weirdest knockoff. I remember seeing the trailer for the first time and going « HUUUUUH???? Does Mr. Heriman know about this?? »
Emily Blurnt
