Reboot Camp

I stumbled across the trailer to this on my friend's Facebook page. The trailer was funny and the rental was only $4 so I decided to rent it. Reboot Camp was not what I expected. It's a mockumentary. I DO NOT like mockumentaries. Had I read the post after watching the trailer, I would've known and would not have rented it. That being said, it was not bad at all. I found myself laughing a lot. Ed Begley Jr. From Bless This Mess and Lindsey Shaw from Pretty Little Liars really stood out. Begley's deadpan face cracked me up every time he was on the screen and Shaw's portrayal of ditzy Maisey was spot on. I give this movie 7 1/2 stars because I just don't like mockumentaries but there are no half stars so I'm rounding up to 8. There are enough trolls out there giving movies 1 star for no reason at all.

All it takes for enlightenment is "Stand on a sofa" I mean come on. Animal yoga!! I was chuckling throughout this film. It's tackling some real issues namely the danger of listening to so called gurus and their supposedly enlightened 'ahem' wisdom. It's really funny if you get the subversion and tongue in cheek jab at society. Come experience the rebirt.

All you need to start a cult is a foreign accent, a funky wardrobe and a VJJ slide. Oh and a bunch of gullible followers to peddle your BS to. Over the top at moments but I'm a big david Koechner fan so anything with him is a watch. Here he riffs at self help and finds spiritual growth through cursing. OK dude whatever works for ya. The one thing that bugged me were the reality stars. Obnoxious. But I guess that's par for the course..or curse.

Well, I have to admit that I was expecting a tad more in the laughs department from the 2020 movie titled "Reboot Camp" when I sat down to watch it here in 2021. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it, but I stumbled upon it and found its synopsis to be alluring.

And while "Reboot Camp" is a watchable movie, it was hardly an outstanding movie experience, nor is it a movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time. Why? Well, simply because "Reboot Camp" doesn't have the material in its contents to support more than a single viewing.

"Reboot Camp" is labeled as a comedy, but it is not the type of comedy that brought about much of any laughs, nor even a smile. It is, however, the type of comedy that takes something and pokes fun at it. And yeah, I will say that the storyline told in "Reboot Camp", as written by writer and director Ivo Raza, definitely was interesting and had some very nice aspects to it. But I just feel that the movie failed as a comedy. It was more of a farce in a way.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and they actually managed to get together a good group of actors and actresses to play the characters in the movie. And they also had a good handful of bigger names on the cast list, though just showing up for minor roles.

Ivo Raza managed to make a very unique and distinct movie here with "Reboot Camp". But it just ultimately wasn't a movie that left much of a lasting impression. I found the movie to be watchable for a single viewing. But it is hardly a movie that I would recommend you rush out to find at all costs.

My rating of "Reboot Camp" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

It explains all human weakness via this movie. It's quite funny to watch indeed. Thought it's a documentary but it's not. But wonder how the people in the movie is actor or real, very suspicious.
