Is this a "epic" film?

To be honest, I thought this film is claimed to be an "epic" comedy film before the word "epic" was removed in April 2020. To me, I felt that "epic" film means that the runtime is just a 161-minute comedy film, to be honest. Any questions? --Stephenfisher2001 (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Epic does not mean lengthy. It means spanning multiple eras, or having a vast scope with multiple settings. The events of this film are contained within a small stretch of time, in a limited geographic region.

It would be epic if the mystery passed down through generations, or spread over continents. Binksternet (talk) 23:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well, thanks! --Stephenfisher2001 (talk) 23:22, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

although it did require a necessary budget for it to proceed

What does that even mean? 2A02:AA1:1004:FD87:D11B:9839:91B7:BFFB (talk) 21:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
