For the Weekend

It said it was a comedy but I didn't even come close to a chuckle. More of a mystery but the mystery doesn't even start till like 40 minutes into the movie.

The writing could have been better, the acting could have been better. One of the guys downs like 3 shots after drinking all night and he then goes and has a conversation and doesn't appear to be drunk, idk anymore.

No idea where these 8 & 9 stars are coming from. I get it's an indie film, but the acting is awful and the plot is terrible. No where believable.

The acting is actually very good in this film, but there wasn't an ounce of comedy in this. Not much of a thriller either, aside from a few bits. If you want to watch a group of annoying friends that are all basically horrible people run around doing absolutely nothing for two hours, this is your film.

In fairness it only took 12 minutes to realize two things: 1) this feels like an 8 hour movie, and 2) this could have been a great movie.

A group of thoroughly unlikeable (we're talking mute-button level) whiny characters leave town for a desert getaway none of them want to be on. Unfortunately for us, the camera follows them out into the desert. There we are treated to actors who can't act, a director who can't direct, a camera operator who doesn't know how, ridiculous dialog, and a plot that involves a mystery you really aren't too concerned about. What they made was a bad movie.

Now, if the camera had stayed behind and filmed the neighbors and families celebrating that this group of losers left town, THAT would have been a good movie. Imagine a huge block party of happy people having fun in the absence of those boat anchors on their lives. That would have been worth watching.

As it is the most I can go is three stars for I don't know, something. No stars for everything else.

If all people were idiots this movie would be believable. Acting was poor, nothing thrilling, nothing funny, would say it was a waste of two hours, but I fell asleep during a part of it, maybe that contained the good parts.
