Laugh out loud one at that. The whole billionaire high tech genius thing is a slight at the times. E. Musk, S. Jobs, M. Zukerburg, E. Holms..... Anyone? So is the social media, creator, disruptor speech. As the same with the has been singer/fashionista (who do you have that fits on your mind?) and her assistant; the braun gun touting Baustista ; the backwards compatible politician with a non green agenda.; the frustrated IT tech guy (lone purpose and joke) whose concern for QA is always thrown out the window.
The disdain in the dialogue and characterization cuts hard ....like a knief !!! It cuts on the fake facades, fake personalities, fake convience, reverence and rationalization of our modern, online, followers life. Right down to the Serena Williams gag.
Case in point is the invitation box. It is decorated by an array of childish presentation glitter that grandma can solve. When a sensible person would see through the self grandiosing.... with an hammer. Was it also pointing at Hollywood itself?
The movie is not really a whodunit but how to get your revenge against a rich dumbass who think he is smart. Might as well cause a viewer might easily guess the culprit anyhow.
Yes there are some useless characters like the 2 assistants but the stranger on the island is a contrarian gag, I guess. You can say all the characters are 2 dimensional and they only services the plot. But isn't that the point? The set is impeccable as well as probably just another joke.
It's very enjoyable.
