Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
I Love Boosters, Saccharine, Tuner and Ask E. Jean Neon/shudder/Black Bear/Abaramora Neon’s surreal crime comedy I Love Boosters opens wide for the Memorial Day holiday frame a bit crowded with The Mandalorian And Grogu, Focus Features’ breakout Obsession and studio holdovers. Boosters reviews are great and director Boots Riley urged fans to turn out. “We didn’t get the screen count we wanted for I Love Boosters – but we got 1700, which is good.
