Why IsEverything Everywhere All At OnceSo Popular?
There is a series of factors that madeEverything Everywhere All At Onceas popular as it is. The movie plays up its absurdist andcomedic elementsdue to the way that characters need to kickstart their verse-jumping skills: by doing something extremely improbable, like sticking your finger into somebody else’s nose or using a trophy as a butt-plug. Additionally, the movietakes full advantage of the concept of the multiverse, and puts its characters in several scenarios in which they have wildly different personalities and appearances.
Not by coincidence,Everything Everywhere All At Oncemade several lists ofbest movies from 2022, and some would even place it as one of thebest films of the decade. Additionally, the action-comedy signaled to Hollywood executives that movies that challenge viewers' notions of story and structure can also become big hits as long as they’re done right.
