The Beta Test

An overstressed Hollywood agent, a few weeks before his weeding, gets personal invitation for a no hold barrels sexual encounter. The problem is he is blinded and identify the woman he had sex with. He become obsessed with her and the situation and things get out of control.

The movie can be considered as poor people Eyes Wild Shut; but with some comedy moments (and sometimes very annoying).

Jim Cummings, the director, loves the be the annoying/disturbed guy (as he did in the funnier The Wolf of Snow Hollow); perhaps too much . He is still funny but he exceeds his welcome in my opinion.

There some interesting secondary characters; dialogs filled with one liners that requires a lot of attention, several killings and some kind of thriller that (as in Eyes Wide Shut) is barely resolved.

The important theme of the movie is the hypocrisy and desperation that requires to stay afloat in this new ultra technological world. As hard as it seems; Cummings also keep everything on the light smile side instead of the drama.

In brief; it is an interesting concept managed in a very interesting way. Worth a try; but requires attention.

A vaguely fascinating concept, though the premise is quite inept, if a pair can get together, wearing masks they don't untether. Can't imagine hooking up, at least sneaking a tiny look, unless you are the type or kind, who likes to be deaf, dumb and blind - which is fine, but you'd need a pretty good pairing algorithm to know that!

I am starting to like Jim Cummings. He is like a more neurotic Ed Burns. Impossibly gorgeous but completely flawed.

In this film, he totally nails the obnoxious Hollywood agent thing. You really just want to loathe him as he trainwrecks his way through his seemingly perfect life. But of course, he is only human - a disgusting, overbearing and weak human despite his golden boy facade.

He just can't help himself. If you like the idea of watching a pretty alpha male lose his mind and get what he deserves, this is a decent 90 minutes.

I hope Jackie's résumé was printed on anything but blood clot purple.

I honestly have no idea what I just watched. It wasn't terrible but it certainly wasn't good. I wasn't bored but I was in no way into it. I knew what was happening, yet I was confused. It wasn't funny but I did laugh a few times.

It started off kinda interesting, with this skeezy, toothy dog. LOL But, some parts were a bit confusing and the acting was ok, but not great. But it did have a follow-me-down the rabbit hole type mystery to it, that made you wanna see what he would do next.

I don't know about where they got the cheating statistics in the digital age as being LOWER than ever??? I was pretty sure they are Higher Now in past 20 years because of Hand Held Technology (LOL) than they have ever been, with cell phones, and tons of dating and hook-up sites, where you can reach people all over the world, not just the people in close proximity to you, like in the old days. :o I could be wrong, I'll have to look that up.

Overall, I enjoyed watch the main dude FREAKING OUT, and throwing things, and hallucinating. It could have been better, but I think It's worth a 1 time watch if your interested in this genre. ;D.
