The Weekend

Looks like the director's friends put in some good words for him at IMDb just looking at the comments for this movie. I'm sorry, but this is one of the absolute worst teen comedies I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. This movie makes the latter American Pie sequels seem like absolute masterpieces in comparison. That's how bad this movie was. Terrible acting. It didn't seem like there was ANY chemistry between the actors. These supposed high school students all looked like they were in their mid to late 20s. There wasn't really anything funny at all in the movie, and the pace was terribly slow and sluggish. Don't let the plant comments fool you, this movie is utter garbage. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Bad acting, boring camera work, incredible sound problems, boring story, no real story to even speak of. There was no clear idea about why I was supposed to care. I didn't care about any of the characters or their half-baked motivations. It squeezed just about every boring cliché there is into one party. This was the worst movie I have ever seen that is trying to be taken seriously.

In addition to the movie being weak, the box art is misleading. Calling it "Unrated and off the hook" is just a terrible marketing lie. There is only one scene that could be considered adult. I'm not upset that there was hardly any of this content, I'm just offering fair warning that this movie even fails on box art.

Finally, the positive comments posted here are clearly planted. The over-all score for this film is quite poor (4.2 at the time of this review), yet all of the posted comment seem to be saying this was the best movie they have ever seen. This is the lowest of the low. Grow up.

I wouldn't like to waste more time on this crap than I've already did, but I feel that I need to warn people. The script is bad, the filming even worse and the acting fits perfectly with the script and filming.

The Weekend seems to be the first movie ever by Michael Todd Kuskin and I hope he will make (much) better movies in the future, of maybe no other movie at all. The people that gave this movie a rating over 5 are involved in making this movie, I think. I can't repeat it enough, this movie is really bad and please don't make the same mistake I did. Spend time on it... Actually, you've wasted more time on this movie by reading this text than it's worth.

To conclude. If you have too much time on your hands and nothing nice to do I still suggest you do something else than watching this movie.

This movie is not nearly as bad as some of the reviews would lead you to believe. Nor it is good as some of the "excellent" reviews. The acting is fine but the storyline is predictable. The movie is not hilarious but it does have its moments. The biggest problem with the movie is the age of the actors playing the teens. Everyone is obviously older than the role they are playing, which, and you would have to ask the writer, would have worked better if these "kids" were supposed to be in college. I think the storyline would have worked just as well with college age characters. The movie does have a very attractive cast and they do the best they can with the material they are given. This movie is not nearly as bad as some of the teen movies produced by the majors and if you watch it with an open mind I think you will see the future potential of many of the people involved in this film.

I stopped watching about half way through the movie, I was just too bored to see it through to the end.

I actually enjoy teen movies even though I'm getting older, but there was just nothing in this one that could keep my attention.

The acting seemed wooden and the whole editing and camera work just radiates boring to me.

As for the jokes, they where not funny at all, I can't actually remember a single line or joke from the movie and it is only 2 days ago that I tried to watch it.

Avoid.
