Entertaining
I randomly came across this movie while flipping through Amazon's sometimes hilarious recommendations. It was about 12:30am, so I figured if it was bad, Id just fall asleep and not waste much time.
Turned out, I stayed awake during the whole movie.
The movie was entertaining in a way thats hard to describe. There are few laugh out loud moments, but there are a couple. Its got more of a grin/groan/snicker style of humor than gutbusting laughter. It was worth my time, though Im not sure about buying it to own - its more of a renter. Watch it once, and thats it. I might pick it up for a couple bucks if I saw it cheap, to add to my Indie collection. It would fit in well on the shelf with Wristcutters and Murder Party.
I gave the movie 4 stars for the Indie category, which IMO is a seperate class from your usual mass theatrical release.
If you like the off brand sense of humor that films like Clerks, Wristcutters: A Love Story and Murder Party...
I kinda liked it ... but!
This copy of the film has a serious audio echo problem about 34:00 in (on my BR players counter) to 42:00 or so.
I thought at first the guy was trippin' and it was an effect, but noooo!!!
If I had anything to do with this film I'd be screaming to Amazon and doing whatever I could to fix this problem. Because as noted in a couple other reviews most people are just going to shut it off.
It's low budget but a great quirky effort.
If it's ever fixed please comment on this review or something, I'd like to give it another try.
Highly amusing and entertaining.
This is a very funny and entertaining take on a care facility. By the very nature of the topic with it's affinity for trauma and loss, it is not the easiest subject to base a comedy around. This film is a brave attempt to do just that and it could easily have fallen flat. However it is a brilliantly written and well crafted film that manages to achieve and do so convincingly.
