Jack J @Mayowich 6d I like the director/writer, I wanted to leave a positive review but I’m going to be honest and say it’s a sucky movie. It says comedy but I didn’t find a punch line anywhere in that run time. Maybe if you were super young and just laughed when people were being idiots but for me there was nothing clever here. Throughout the movie I found myself zoning out on the endless dribble of someone talking and never really "saying" anything. I get the point of the movie where John doesn’t leave the house but I actually got tired of the same background the entire time, not something I’d ever think would bother me. The entirety of the show is about 3 activities over and over again, guy sad no money, do drugs party, hair brain idea no work and repeat. I was desperate for a funny punch line somewhere but most of the jokes were what I’d call anti-humour where the punch line is never said and it’s just the awkwardness that’s supposed to make you laugh. Better than anything I’ve ever done though. See more Mike A @MikeyInAZ Jun 22 This film is a blessing from above. Kevin Kraft’s big screen debut as both screenwriter and director is a hit. It’s 90 minutes of laughs and feels like we’re in the 90’s all over again (in the best way possible). Dustin Ybarra absolutely kills it as Dubs. No wonder this kid is blowing up. See more Ryan B @RT58611941 Jun 19 Fantastic must watch instant cult classic with raunchy comedy start to finish! Lots of laughs and ongoing gags plus the cameos! Great job by Kevin Kraft on his feature film directorial debut plus 3 appearances, 1 shown, 2 by voice! Would definitely recommend and purchased on YouTube - only way to see it in Canada. See more Kevin W @RT47631979 Jun 18 An instant classic from a brilliant film maker. This is a great throwback to an 80s style adult comedy. The filmmaker did an incredible job balancing gut-busting comedy with a lean, well-structured narrative. There’s zero fluff here—just a practically executed, brilliantly paced film that hits every beat perfectly. As someone who appreciates a tight script and sharp direction, I was blown away by how effortlessly the jokes landed. Highly recommend if you want a smart, genuinely funny watch! See more Bob M @BMcC75 Jun 14 Hilarious return to old school '90s raunchy comedies. A mockumentary for the ages. See more Eric L @RT89772113 Jun 14 Great movie! It was really funny and worth the watch! See more Read all reviews
