Nothing Really Happens

So often movies nowadays follow a formula, and you feel like you've already seen it even if the details are a bit different. Not so with Nothing Really Happens. This is a really creative film that defies standard genre definitions and blends them together really well. It's part sci-fi, part comedy, some horror, but really it's about surrealism and the absurdity of life.I really appreciate when a filmmaker shows us something we haven't seen before. If you're looking for something original an out of the ordinary that will show you something new, Nothing Really Happens is for you.

It should be illegal to make a movie this bad. The acting is god awful. Everything is over dramatized. The conversations are entirely unnatural. The jokes are terrible. I thought for sure with a 6.8 IMDB rating it wouldn't be a waste of time. Come to find out, all of the positive reviews are from people with only 1 review (this one) on their account. Or, a handful of reviews written all on the same day to give the illusion they're not fake.

If you're looking for something unexpected - something that is as far as you can possibly get from predictable formats - then check out the remarkable story telling in Nothing Really Happens. This film is undeniably strange but its weirdness - in the style of Being John Malkovitch - is surprisingly relatable. There are plenty of startling plot twists and some great dialogue. Conversations that seem pointless at first become hysterically funny because the characters are so committed to them. The changes in the movie's universe are unsettling and leave the audience to work out for itself what is really happening. Definitely unique but well worth a watch!

A most fun ride in this unique indie film filled with comedy, sci-fi plot and hilarious characters. You have to feel sorry for the mattress store owner. His wife is constantly nagging and now his mattresses are reported to have bed bugs. It's a slow ride to insanity for this guy but the ride is filled with humor and keeps you guessing if what you are seeing is real or imaginary. Great writing and the actors are on point for this plot line and style. Great job all around and a fun time to watch.

If your tired of watching movies where people don't speak like duechbags at coffee shops that read a thesaurus all day... This is the movie for you. Not Kevin Smith, not Tarantino, you don't get to insult your viewers with useless nonsense unless you've earned it.

Interesting score, decent, though poorly executed, comedy. Sub par acting and editing.

Just don't bother unless you like to hang around pouting millennials that cope with trauma by talking down to everyone else.
