We just watched Honey Don’t — twice — and still can’t believe how bad it was. Directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with Tricia Cooke, the film stars Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, and Charlie Day in what should have been a stylish neo-noir. Instead, it’s a messy, over-sexed, and painfully misguided movie that left us frustrated, confused, and honestly kind of angry.
In this episode of Thumb War, we break down exactly why Honey Don’t doesn’t work — from the awkward sex scenes, one-note characters, and forced political gags, to the wasted performances of a stellar cast. We also compare it to Drive-Away Dolls, Bound, and even classic Coen Brothers films like Fargo and No Country for Old Men to highlight just how far this one misses the mark.
Spoilers throughout.
We also talk representation, Ethan & Joel Coen’s split, and why this film feels like a wasted “blank check” project.
