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.

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!

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.

I decided to give this movie a shot after stumbling across it on Amazon and I was hooked immediately. The cast is hilarious and that plot isn't like anything I've seen recently, you should definitely check it out if you have the chance!

This is a mind bending adventure into the mundane nature of life and the insecurities that beguile and cripple us. An intriguing film that is better watched with full submission into the premise as little as it seems. The filmmaker is not striving for any semblance of realism, which makes the film that much more intriguing. The dialogue is clever and rife with metaphor, the characters are interesting and each represent different aspects of the human condition. It's unlike any other film I've seen and stands out as an intelligent a trippy indie film.
