SkyRo P Dumbbells is a comedy that awkwardly falls flat when it should be delivering a lot more laughter and fun. It’s filled with poor comic timing, weak jokes, and a story that strays all over the place instead of staying on track. The film focuses on a former NBA prospect whose career was cut short due to injury. He finds a new passion in art — and it’s a shame the story drops this thread — because it seemed to be a much more unique angle. Instead, the plot focuses on him working in a gym filled with drugs, questionable relationships, and a worker who sleeps with nearly everyone. It all feels messy, weird, and unfocused. It’s nice to see a new writer and director score a distribution deal — it’s a big accomplishment — but you need a strong script and a solid cast to back it up. Kim and Missy are the only two who bring any spark to their roles; everyone else feels bland and uninspiring. The result is a film that falls far short of its potential and leaves you wondering what it was trying to be. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
