Tries so hard to be funny, fails
6 August 2016
This movie tries so hard to be funny and alternative and smart, but every joke falls flat. The screen writing is going for funny outrageous sarcastic, but nothing in it is funny enough to rise above trying too hard. For example, one character calls another a "Barry Gibb looking dude." That's supposed to be funny, but the guy hardly looks like Barry Gibb, so the joke doesn't work. If she had called him, "you fatter, unfunny Paul Rudd-looking dude, that might have been a little funny.

The gory parts look too cheap to be scary, and the unreal and lame dialogue makes it impossible to care about what anyone says.

It tries to be Eating Raoul, but it turns out to be Sharknado - pretty much impossible to sit through. Some good actors, but such weak material that nobody could make a good movie out of it.
