      steve d I saw it a few years ago and I am still waiting for the comedy to start. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There are funny parts, but it mostly copies other films. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member The indie comedy Fifty Pills is mildly entertaining and manages to deliver a few good laughs. When Darren Giles loses his scholarship and is unable to pay his college tuition his roommate gives him 50 pills of ecstasy to sell in order to come up with the funds. Featuring Kristen Bell, Michael Pena, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Nora Zehetner, the cast is pretty decent. However, the script isn't that demanding and the performances aren't that impressive. The comedy is also rather bland, as the satire isn't that sharp or edgy. Playing it a bit too safe, Fifty Pills comes off as formulaic tripe. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This was okay I guess, but not very interesting. Basically this guy has to sell pills to make money to stay in school. It all leads up to a very stupid scene with rival drug thugs, and then kind of ends after that with no wrap ups to the story. The lead guy is kind of a tool, just like in everything else I've seen him in: I still think he was so annoying in the Evil Dead remake. Hensley is basically playing his Nip/Tuck role and Kristen Bell is not really used here much, and when she is, it just isn't good. She has no chemistry with Pucci. Some of the supporting characters help the film move. Monica Keena is great as one of the customers doing various role playing sex acts in her Grandma's basement. Eddie Kaye Thomas is fantastic as another customer way to obsessed with Diff'rent Strokes...the TV show. One of my favorite actress Diora Baird shows up as another customer for a few minutes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member For a film with so many recognisable actors this film fell flat - nothing to blame for that except the screenplay Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member August 14, 2012--> Watched via NETFLIX with Wade Puffenbarger...
