Swing State

I saw this at a small film festival. It was a real disappointment as a movie. It is not funny. I think that is the biggest problem. It was written for a viewer who does not read or think about issues deeply. The writing of the movie was so bad that even talented actors could not save this film. The directing was very off too. I think this film was done in a hurry by someone who is not a writer, someone who is not a director and a group of actors who used to be famous and now must be desperate for parts. This disaster of a movie has no other explanation. I probably won't go back to the film festival either since the quality of the films was really bad this year. This was the worst of the bunch.

Rented this because of some of the has been actors. The story is nothing short of ridiculous. It is absurd but not in a funny way in a really childish stupid way. The writer of this film seems simple. The script and the characters have no complexity. I get that it's supposed to be satirical but the writing is just so bad it's a movie with a dumb plot and no humor. It was tough to watch these actors struggle under such poor direction and with such a flimsy script. Attempted to watch this in one sitting but had to punish myself and my boyfriend by drawing out the pain over two sittings. Hope the writer has some other job because writing is not his or her strong suit. And the actors should really retire or do tanning salon commercials or Nutribullet infomercials. No talent in any area of this movie.

I tried very hard to find something good to say about this film, but it's not possible. This film is a satire of sorts, but it is rooted in sexism, unintelligible dialogue and really tired stereotypes. It is possible that some may find this funny,but for a satire this really lacked any sensitivity or insight and instead came across as a movie of ridiculous one-liners. Whomever wrote this seems to have a very rudimentary understanding of human nature. of politics and of relationships because the characters just say and do idiotic things. The acting in this film is beyond bad. Beh is garish and unrelatable and the rest of the cast equally so. This seems to be a shortcoming in the directing, but it is hard to tell. The editing and sound make it feel like a movie my high schooler made. I didn't care for the music, but by the time I noticed how bad it was I had already determined the movie to be a flop. Not worth seeing.

This was the worst film I have ever seen. I saw it at a terrible LA film festival so should have known. The acting was awful; the writing was worse. I don't know whose idea it was to cast a bunch of washed up celebrities in a movie and think that would either make it good (it didn't) or make it worth seeing (it wasn't). The plot was not funny, so whatever stupid one liners existed fell flat. It was a really dumb film and it's sad that the industry supports real BS like this film and not quality stuff. The music was really bad and really distracting and the sound quality was poor. This film has nothing going for it. Posting this review so you save your money.

My buddies and I read a review of this in our college newspaper. We are in our late 20s and in grad school and 3 out of 4 of us thought this movie was one of the worst we have seen and 1 person just thought it was eh. We study political science and film and find this movie to have no merit as a political piece or as a work of art. The humor is corny and played, the story hackneyed and the acting canned. The director really relished in instructing his cast to be over the top and it did not work. Alex Beh was particularly terrible but all of the acting was disappointing. There was something really off about the sound and the music and it was a distraction. I can't say I am disappointed in the movie but I am definitely disappointed in my college newspaper for encouraging me to rent this film. Usually movies that are direct VOD are direct VOD for a reason.
