Sheroes

Ezra "Waning Star" (Isabelle Fuhrman), Diamond "Crazy Hot" (Sasha Luss), Ryder "Skater Girl" (Wallis Day), and Daisy "Lost Soul" (Skai Jackson) are best friends forever. Diamond's movie superstar dad invites the girls to the vacation home in Phuket, Thailand. Jasper (Jack Kesy) is their private plane new pilot. A baggage mix-up leaves the girls with a bag full of cocaine.

This is written and directed by Jordan Gertner which is his debut for both jobs. I get what he's trying to do, but it's not fun. More than anything, the audience is looking for fun. This is not it. First, these are vapid party girls and not in a fun way. They start the movie by doing various complaints. I understand Ryder's sexist complaint and Daisy's job complaint. Diamond opens with her being "Crazy Hot" and just annoying entitlement. She's the leader and sets an infuriating tone. The bag of drugs has no explanation. The girls are the authors of their own downfall. The movie then tries to be Charlie's Angels and it's like one of the lesser of that franchise. This needs more fun, more imagination, and more appealing characters.

See right Sheroes is a mess a real mess. I don't know if they wanted to do a Charlie's Angels with 4 friends who do their usual skills thing to survive. Hearing it had a $20million budget! It looked amateurish at best and o yes none of the 4 friends are known (well I don't know them) but none of them elevated this shambles of a movie. They tried to do the Deadpool cursing thing but it came across as forced and stale. I say this again I don't think I will stay to watch this on Television again even if it's free on satellite television as it's a stinker of a movie. FYI the CGi is terrible. No shades but it is not a good movie. 1 over 10 is more than appealing since IMDB can't make you put a 0.

Good god where to start well I couldn't even make it to the end of the moive

But let's start off with the nicknames they are given (wouldn't normally say this sort of thing about actresses but you opened the doors with the crazy hot naming) the names for them make no sense unless this film was meant to be a parody "crazy hot" well she just isn't (two of the others are more attractive), the "wanting star" appears to already be an actress in the film and some how acted better when pretending to be one in the film. Then a few minutes in they get on the plane which is the most hard to watch thing I have ever seen first off they have extremely cringe door opening sounds also from one angle it shows lights coming through the plane windows then the other it is dark (can see / that it's a sort of mdf wall) the cgi of the plane looks like it's more at home on the average YouTube video. The acting is we'll just flat out wooden and bad script writing to the point that the main characters appear to be asking out loud questions the viewers are meant to be asking themselves. My summary of this film would be bad acting, bad and uneventful script. Recommend to avoid and watch almost anything else.

Holy moly is this bad.

In chronological order of awfulness. It has Terrible cgi

The dialogue, script and plot are childish. Some of the Borrowed dialogue from Taken is cringe.

Unlikeable characters, make that every character in the movie are awful, stereotypical and wooden.

I could go on with the Bad dialogue, the Terrible acting, The Flawed logic involved in the plot, eg, the sniper rifle just hanging around, is laughable.

Jordan Gertner who wrote and directed this is, ahem, famous for bringing us the awful Spring Breakers and the equally risible London Fields. I'm not kidding this is Showgirls bad.

So this movie open up with 4 party goer young ladies on a vacation in Thailand. Something goes wrong and one of them is captured and they have to save her.

On paper it looks like a funny action comedy ... the problem is... its neither.

Never the movie really try to be funny. There is some back and forth between the main characters that may pull half a smile out of you but thats it. How about action? Nope. There is barely any.

The movie has maybe like 10 minutes of poorly filmed gun fights and 1 barely decent hand to hand action sequence. Thats all.

This movie is a receipy for disaster at first glance but somehow ... i can't totally trash it. The 4 main actresses are somewhat charismatic enough to make me go along the very uninteresting and completely ridiculous story.

They act well enough and have some personality so you kinda get invested a bit into them. That said the story is REALLY dumb. Like some guys said it would had work as a VERY self aware action comedy, like really going for nonsense and nothing serious but the movie try to be serious for the whole thing.

I want to keep this spoiler free so nothing specific but it borrow some cliché from action movies where you supose to be thinking its an hommage or be funny but it lead to nothing really. Not even a chuckle.

Even the key plot point make no sense as a serious movie. Its not a spoiler as its in the trailer but one of them get captured and this is basically a rescue mission. Ok fine. But why the big bad drug cartel vilains didn't capture all 4 of them? Why 1???

This is the kind of nonsense we could overlook in a very funny comedy but like i said this is not it... Its not meant to be funny. Its meant to be serious.

Also maybe the less important thing but beside the expensive car and luxury villa, the movie must had the budget of a cinema school because they even CGI (Playstation 2 type of graphics) a plane in air. Like litterally Star Wars miniatures from 1977 look more real.

Overall this movie is a dumpster fire. There is nothing redeemable in the script or cinematography. BUT Sasha Luss, Wallis Day and the 2 other actresses have SOME chemistry on screen and act well with the material given... so they kinda made me forget at time what kinda bad movie i was watching.

That said, do i ever wanna watch this movie again? No. I wanna see these actresses in better project tough. Im being ULTRA generous with a 4 out of 10 (or 2 stars if you on Letterboxd) because despite it all the movie is rather short and i kinda wanted to see how it ended... so it did manage to get SOME of my attention (i did looked at my cell and answered a few messengers twice tough).
