literally like a candy box

The movie is literally so visually rich in every frame that it’s sometimes like an queasy-making overstuffed candy box.
How many ways can we deemphasize what we are erroneously trying to say?
- It’s literally a candy box (Incorrrect)
- It’s literally like a candy box (Unnecessary)
- It’s literally sometimes like a candy box (Really unnecessary)

You forgot the “an queasy-making” offense. It should be “a queasy-making.” Not a lot of people know this rule, but I was a English major.

Yeah, I chose not to comment on that, though perhaps I should have put “[sic]” next to it.
