Yes I really liked the movie. Frank the bunny is super creepy.
It’s also pretty nostalgic because the characters are about the age I was at the time the movie was set in the mid eighties. Same thing for Ferris Bueller.

Something doesn't have to be good to be liked. Look at Star Trek TOS. Lots of people like it, and it's really just not very good at all.

The comparison is to Primer. Have you seen it?

If anything not liking rick and Morty is trendy.
Trends are something dullards follow to look cool.
People like Rick and Morty because they think it’s funny.
People shit on Rick and Morty because they are boring people and are trying to look cool to make up for that fact.

Honestly the 'movie about schizophrenia' thing kind of works because in my opinion 'mental illness' has an ancient connection with visionaries and shamans and what have you. Just people that see reality differently and perhaps suffer more but feel a need to give it all up to help others who might not see things so clearly/differently.
Obviously if you look into it the movie is designed to be more of a science fiction movie, but I still think the movie is intentionally directed to make it very ambiguous to the viewer whether Donnie is losing his mind or being guided towards his unique destiny by the universe. I think everyone who has ever struggled with mental illness, or at least me, goes back and forth on whether or not it helps you find your own unique place in life or whether you are just worse than everyone else or losing it. One of my favorite parts is how confused and scared Donnie is until he realizes his destiny.

Primus sucks.
That said, Rick and Morty is absolutely trendy in comparison to Primer. Primer won a lot of awards for being a disjointed, hard to follow, time travel time line. It's worth a watch.
