Unfavorable Odds

What a waste of time!....This was the worst written, worst acted, worst storyline of any movie I've ever seen in the theater. I made a big mistake wasting 2 hours of my life seeing something that wasn't even good enough for a lifetime movie on TV. The sets looked straight out of a porn movie???...I understand low budget films have limitations but WHY? Did anyone even think this was viable?....

Please movie producers...some imagination?...some set production?....and I can't even start on the script that was abysmal. I was waiting for any redeeming moment to no avail. Really....don't waste your time with this movie.

"Unfavorable Odds" looks and feels like a film that a group of friends whipped up for their own amusement. The story about a husband that bets his friend that he can't seduce his wife is far from original. The script's dialog is obvious and uninspired. The performances while energetic are stilted and generally over the top. Visually the movie is competently shot, but relies too heavily on aerial and tracking shots. The staging is flat and unremarkable. A major technical drawback of the film is the sound. While the dialog is generally audible, the sound re-recording is uneven and choppy. The score sounds generic, but the songs are one of the few highlights of the movie. Filmgoers looking for a wholesome comedy with no sex, violence, or nudity, might be mildly amused by this movie. However, they would be better off avoiding this knockoff of a knock off and instead streaming something written by Preston Sturges.or Garson Kanin/Ruth Gordon from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
