Cursed Friends

I guess luke warm temp is the best way to describe this. You'll smile or perhaps get a single "ha" from the movie once in awhile but truly not that funny of a movie. The whole thing just fell flat and felt tepid for me. Not a BAD movie, just not very funny or interesting. Think I spent more time scrolling TikTok than watching due to this not holding my attention really. Kind of typical and easy to predict. Cheesy moments that are to be expected. All in all, this is decent background noise but nothing that will captivate you or make your stomach hurt from laughing so hard. You won't be bummed you missed this or not.

Thanks to Comedy Central for making TV movies catered to the millennial generation! Is it an award winning, perfect movie? No. Is it fun, relatable and will make you cry laughing at times - YES!

I can't count how many times I fell over laughing at some of the references and awkward moments. The cast was great - love the cameos from a few stunnas and especially LOVED Andy's character (if you watch What We Do in the Shadows - he also excels in this).

I played MASH many times as a child - glad to see a fun, silly, relatable movie to break thru some of the horror stuff during spooky season.

If you are a millennial and a) liked *NSYNC b) played MASH with your friends and c) already feel old vs Gen Z you will love this. Give it a watch!

I'm almost the target demographic (but not quite) so I appreciated some of the jokes and laughed out loud a few times. I remember MASH etc.

On the other hand, this is definitely geared towards a kind of immature demographic, even as a fun comedy for Millennials. There were a lot of fart jokes and sex jokes that aren't that funny and just come across as either lame or gross to me as an adult. Were they picturing Millennial parents watching this with their adolescent kids? If so why were there also so many references to porn and masturbation?

Harvey Guillen consistently stole the show for me as the gay wanna-be-influencer lying about his age to get Gen Z clients and followers. I also thought adding Nicole Richie was a nice touch. I kept waiting for Paris Hilton to make a cameo appearance, but instead there was just way too much NSYNC.

It's not a great film, but if you want a campy, fast paced 'get away' film then it fits the bill. Many of the characters are outrageous stereotypes (villains, heroes, gays), but it's not offensive at all. It's just silly humour (it's not really horror at all). The pace is a little too frantic throughout without any slowing down, which is a distraction. But it obviously wasn't intended to be anything other than ridiculous low brow humour.

It's also somewhat generational, as someone mentioned. The multiple references using some aspects of social media presented as jokes sometimes left us shaking our heads and going "What are they meaning?" But in the end, who cares?

Even as a GenX'er, I thought the Millennial humor was funny. Plot was good and perfect for what I was looking for - something that kept my attention, made me laugh, and helped pass the time. I would definitely watch it again. Some of the humor was cringy, but that was the point. I was kind of hoping the ending would have been different, but oh well. I thought it was well written and well acted. Take it for what it is - a campy quasi-horror comedy. I love the movies during spooky season. This one fits in just fine. Not everyone is going to get this movie. The twists and play on words added a bit of something to the movie. Watch it if you get the chance.
