More laughs would've sufficed
Yesterday, I saw The Five-Year Engagement. There were some great comedic moments, for instance, one scene early on which was set in the kitchen of a restaurant in San Francisco where one of the chefs was pretending to masturbate by stroking a sausage. But there were a few missed opportunities, including one earlier in the same scene where another chef had told his girlfriend that he was a sous-chef at that restaurant. The girlfriend could’ve then made a somewhat politically incorrect crack about him being, or cooking for, a Native American. The pun was right there, but they didn’t seize that opportunity like they did several others. If I had had some creative control, I would’ve at least suggested a line like “So that means you’re part Indian?” I just hope The Dictator is also worth the ticket price.
