In a perfect world, I'd like a hybrid version. I think that some jokes in the extended cut fall a bit flat. Ideally, I would like the theatrical cut of the film but with the full dance number of the extended cut.
In a way, I'm quite happy the majority seem to hate it. I picked up the 2 disc Blu-ray edition in a Poundland store for just £2! When I got my PS5, it was one of the first 4K discs I purchased as it was only £5.
Liking the unpopular film has its advantages. 😁
I’m mostly thinking of the dance number and the way the theatrical version cuts the final act split between Erin and Abby, which guts their respective arcs. I’ve only seen the theatrical once, so I couldn’t name what jokes it omitted. But there’s a good chance I’d agree with you, since there are a number of gags I wouldn’t miss. Mostly the “Kevin’s so dumb” bits, which don’t work for me.
