That was hardly bust a gut material, but thanks, tips.

But yeah, a lot of Tarantino films tend to meander, while also being highly watchable still. It seems like he wanted to bask in the 60s atmosphere. As some critics called it, it's more or less a "hang out" drama/comedy, which seems about right.
Could his movies be more cohesive in terms of plot? Sure. But I'd expect by now people would know what they're walking into.

Narratively it was pretty on key for Tarantino (his storytelling certainly has never been an issue for me), but I would argue that
it was a large departure from his MO.
Maybe when I re-watch it I'll actively adjust my expectations knowing what it is all about and try to aim for that experience. "Hang out" dramedy might be an accurate description as structurally I don't really see the point of the film other than period immersion.
EDIT: I should have been more clear before. There is certainly humour in the film and I made a mistake implying there isn't. I just didn't find it that markedly more funny than other Tarantino films, and while I chuckled in a few spots it really wasn't all that humorous to me.
