Review of #Jowable

#Jowable (2019)
4/10
It's like a film directed by 2 person who couldn't decide which way to go and they reached their deadline so they had to release.

This film clearly had it's potential I must say but it never failed to do 3 annoying flaws throughout the entire run.

  • Jokes and lines are genuine and funny but it overstayed it's welcome too much.
  • Lazy cutting. There are too many scenes where a audience is staring at this angle and for no good reason, there is a jump cut. Clearly, the cut is there because the actress/actor forgot the line.
-Extras act weirdly as if they are in a stage. This takes away the realism and reminds the audience that what's happening is just fiction.

Apart from the 3 flaws mentioned above, I had an issue with the Acts. Act 1 drags through the entire half of the runtime. It used up the entire half of the film to establish the character through repetitive jokes. There is no interesing incident that happens to the main character to push the plot to the next Act making this film looked like a 2 act story only. What's worse is that when we finally reach that interesting incident for the main character, all of a sudden the events keeps coming in rushed.

I have seen short films from the director and this film doesn't reflect the quality of those shorts.
