Highly Overrated But Still Good
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This movie is great, I loved Funnel and I loved this. I don't know who these old curmudgeons are but in today's world the fact that a piece of entertainment could be so polarizing is a good thing.
I'm so sorry I watched this.I would be tempted to give it a 1 but I usually rate a losing movie a 4. The lowest I have I think has been a 3. The photography isn't bad. I can say the same for what little there is with it. The script and the acting is a disaster in my opinion.One person said it is California humor and I would agree that part of the country can be a little strange but this is beyond what I have ever experienced there.Unless you are killing time as you cleanup around your place don't bother to watch it unless your reviewing it for a film class.
I've been alive for more than 43 years. I've never tried to review a movie until I viewed this one, and frankly I felt I had to watch it all the way through just to see if there was any redeeming value to it. I've viewed easily 5000 films. I have seen work of this quality, but it's been since I was in college viewing other students films. I feel sorry for the people that funded this project. It lacks story, intent, acting, production, and purpose. Simply the worst movie I've ever seen.
I like to think I have a good sense of humour and can take something from any genre but this was just dull and boring to the point where I literally wanted to slap some of the characters.We basically spend a day in the life of the most boring man on the planet who is then out bored by friends, friends of friends and random encounters.The problem with writing, directing and staring in a production like this is that if you don't allow other peoples input or criticism then it's all on you and sadly Andre Hyland, it's all on you.I gave it 2 stars as the gummy bear scene was mildly amusing but the rest was like spending a day with a distant cousin who you just met and had nothing in common with.
