Evan Landon Film Threat Apr 1
6/10
In the end, as a comedy, it also serves as a mirror of regret, perspective, and the paths beyond what our own expectations could conjure. Go to Full Review

Carroll is unable to create even a single moment beyond the interesting premise that gives life to any of these badly stitched sketches. They are flattened out to such an extent that there is no cohesion left in the narrative whatsoever. Go to Full Review

If “The Stress is Killing Me” had a single issue, it did not feel as if it had a strong handle on who the characters were or organic relationship dynamics. Tom Carroll as director is way better than Carroll the writer. Go to Full Review

3/5
Logline: THE BIG CHILL for 2002 grads. Problematically, the film gives little credence to how 42 year olds would actually be 20 years after college to perform a the high concept we'll-change-our-jobs-for-a-week plot, but witty/nostagic enough, I guess. Go to Full Review

The Stress Is Killing Me is a good one-time watch, offering light entertainment with themes of reunion, self-discovery, and friendship. Go to Full Review

A heartwarming and silly college comedy without the raunchy R-rated stuff. Go to Full Review

Roy J May 24 I’ve been betrayed by the Popcornometer. I’m going to rethink my life and maybe guzzle something highly toxic and go from there. See more Taj V Apr 18 Aside from a nice performance by the wonderful and sexy Carly Christopher, this movie is so laughably bad, it makes me think all the great reviews are from friends and family of the cast. A decent premise squandered and so poorly executed that it becomes a total embarrassment. I felt like a fool for selecting it after viewing the trailer. You’ve been warned! See more George K Mar 30 The dialogue is so wooden it wishes it was a real boy, the soundtrack is royalty-free string plucking, the jokes are flat.... Legitimately unwatchable. Also worth mentioning that many of the accounts posting positive reviews have only one movie review on their account. The positive "reception" to this slop is likely faked. Avoid this movie See more Rajeev V Mar 12 I attended the premier and enjoyed the movie a lot. I am in my 30s, and although the movie focuses on people in their mid life, I was able to connect, relate, and laugh with the characters' stories. I'm going through an early life crisis, and the movie helped remind me that I'm young and to have fun and explore. Also, I haven't gone to many premiers, and it was a cool experience to connect with some of the actors and directors and see how they're having fun playing their roles. Overall, it's been a while since I've watched a light comedy movie that I feel anyone can enjoy and with friends. See more Mar 9 So bad. But confusingly good reviews. See more Rachel M Mar 9 A really relatable and fun movie. Great execution, great relation building with the actors. I really loved watching this movie. Just pure fun. Cannot wait for more from this team. See more Read all reviews
