1 Night in San Diego

Admittedly, I may not be the target audience of this film. I'm not a millennial, I have never laughed at a College Humor skit, and I believe that the pinnacle of artistic expression is David Lynch telling the weather for a city that I don't live in and picking a random number out of a jar every day.

So I think you can understand the rating I give this film, but that doesn't excuse the lazy writing, poor post-production, and a film that all around lacks thematic direction and a soul. I think the director intended to make a low-brow buddy comedy but Female(tm), and I can't help from asking myself: why would you want any more of those? The world of film definitely needs more female voices in female centric narratives, but Lawson's evidently hollow Girl Boss mentality makes a film that's devoid of a well-rounded personality. Not to mention jokes that fall flat, scenes that go on for far too long, a generic yet oddly on the nose soundtrack, and a climax so groundbreaking it can only rival watching paint dry.

The fact that anyone that has the money to buy the newest DSLR and hire C-list actors can make a movie is the greatest tragedy of our time. That's what watching this film makes me want to believe at least, but I know that's not true. Sofia Coppola has proven that priveledged white girls can make good films too, and I hope Lawson can take some notes from her.

Honestly, there is no way I could create a good movie. Making a good movie is extremely difficult and takes a lot of talented minds working together.

I remember that every time I watch a really bad movie. This film made me truly appreciate the talent that goes into making a good film because it was so atrocious.

One Night in San Diego is extremely contrived and tries way too hard. It is super boring and really just a garbage film overall. Anybody watching this movie will realize that within the first 15 minutes, so I didn't feel the need to warn people.

However, considering all of the 10 STAR generic one sentence reviews that were posted from accounts that were conveniently created the month this movie was released, compelled me to leave and honest review!

The script reminds me of something teens would put together in an after school YMCA class with their friends. They think it's well written because it's a readable conversation, but that doesn't mean it's in any way entertaining.

I laughed once during the first 45 minutes, so I ultimately had to turn it off. To top it all off the acting is bad. I was convinced that the Asian lead had written a movie and her parents produced it because her acting was the absolute worst...like noticeably horrific. I was shocked to learn that she didn't write and produce this trash. She must be close with the person who did because I can't understand for the life of me how anyone would put her in a movie with those acting skills.

The only reason I kept watching is because I'm from San Diego and wanted to see the scenery. Also, I can have a good time cringing at bad movies for a little bit. If you want to watch an enjoyable film this evening, do not watch this one!

Doesn't represent SD at all. Horrible acting. Lame jokes. Boring and superficial AF. Don't waste your time.

Extremely poor writing and acting. I would be very, very, surprised if this ever actually played in a theater. Seems more like a community college film class project.

I see several 10s here. People who are very obviously related to the movie.

This movie is horrendous. The writing and acting are both terrible. The movie isn't funny. The whole thing is actually really boring. The handheld shots are likely to make you nauseous. Audio levels are all over the place. If you're seeing reviews/ratings anything above a 4 they're likely written by friends of the producer & crew. The ones that are 8-10/10 definitely are. Zzzzzzzz...
