It is difficult to tell what is the worst thing about this movie. The acting, CGI and script are all shocking. It was so bad that I created my IMDb account for the sole purpose of reviewing this movie and as soon as I'm through, I'm going to watch the last 15 minutes of it that remains. That's right - I'm reviewing an incomplete movie.

There is a scene very early in the movie where explosions take place in the sky and people are sitting down in the grass watching with interest, instead of running for cover. Obviously, covering your face with your hands is as good a method as any other when your life is in danger.

No spoilers from me - the film-makers did that already. Suffice it to say that this movie is so very bad that I couldn't keep myself away. Not even gratuitous nudity would help it - and that says it all, I think. Two stars for being so bad that I have to see how it ends.

Survivor's Remorse is described on the official website as being a comedy but I haven't found a lot of this series to be funny. It has been entertaining though. It follows the brand-new life of rookie basketball star Cam Calloway and his family, played by Tichina Arnold, Mike Epps, Ronreaco Lee, Teyonah Parris and Erica Ash with Jessie T. Usher as the lead character.

It features strong story lines and great use of music. I 'discovered' some good stuff through this series; Bryce Vine's "Sour Patch Kids" is one such track. It touches also on various facets of new money and some of the pitfalls that may present themselves when people see you as a source of money and opportunity.

Issues such as homosexuality, the Church and cancer patients do not make for a chuckle-fest but are approached with a refreshing candor and a new angle that may prompt some debate and discussion. I gave it 7/10 simply because if it was promoted as a drama and had comedic elements, it would have been a truer description in my humble opinion and would have scored higher.
