ExTerminators

I absolutely love this movie 💯💕🍿 All the characters in it do very well together.

Original story.

Dark comedy ,but not too dark.

So many funny lines in it .

"EXterminators" is a film that explores the possibility of putting angry, violent women in the same room, leading to something worse than bad. A four-legged pest control business becomes the front for "two legged vermin" extermination. The film's screenplay is filled with black comedy, but only occasional scenes display dark humor. The clever plot never really blossoms, as everything is too restrained.

"ExTerminators" is one of the funniest and under-rated films I have seen in recent years. Jennifer Coolidge rocks as usual, making this film what it is. She is just funny with meaning to be or at least in a very unpretentious way. The soundtrack also compliments this movie completely. The story offers continuous laughs and keeps your attention. It has some very surprising takes along the way and keeps you guessing what's next. The film is about a woman named Alex (Heather Graham), who loves to help out people and may have married a man she supports and doesn't work for. One day, Alex comes home from work to find her husband cheating on her. Without any explanation needed, this ends the marriage, leaving Alex feeling bitter and upset. A few weeks later, while shopping at the grocery store, a random male approaches her and takes the pie that Alex was planning to purchase. Alex informs the man that she was going to buy that pie, and the guy responds by stating, "I don't see your name on it." Upset by the response, Alex punches the guy and is arrested. Alex then has to attend an anger management class where she meets Stella (Jennifer Coolidge) and Nikki (Amber Heard), who have their history of anger issues pertaining to men. What happens next has to be seen to be believed, but the three women go into business to become the ExTerminators. "ExTerminators" is a terrible title for a film. If the film had the right director and writer on board, it could have been a pretty funny film. However, it turned into something that I feel I would see on Lifetime. The first problem I had with the film was that it made every male in this movie out to either be a jerk or completely clueless. That element alone made the film feel like a Lifetime movie. Alex's husband is a user and a cheater, another guy is a woman beater, and all the other men in this film are all the typical college guy stereotypes who just grab female asses. Even the good guy in this film was portrayed as stupid. The second issue I had with the film was the whole subplot of the film, which involved an IRS agent named Hutt (Sam Lloyd). Hutt began investigating Stella's business, which ironically is an exterminator business. As the story develops, everything seems to be simple and unexplained. The cops didn't even investigate through the film. I liked Heather Graham in this role, but the script was weak and the characters weren't well written. Amber Heard was unrecognizable in the film and was good in the role, although she was a bit too over the top at times. The acting by the leads was decent, but all the smaller supporting roles were horrible, including the guy who played Hutt.

In conclusion, "ExTerminators" is a direct-to-video film that truly deserves the title. While the premise could be funny, it fails to produce any real laughs. The direction is sloppy and the writing is poor. Graham, Coolidge, and Heard do their best to make the film watchable, but due to the poor character development, they couldn't do much.

"EXterminators" explores the possibility that if you put a bunch of angry, violent women, in the same room, something bad might happen. In fact something worse than bad happens to cheating husbands, as a four legged pest control business becomes the front for "two legged vermin" extermination. Although the outrageous screenplay of"EXterminators" is fertile ground for "black comedy", only occasional scenes display dark humor, the best being shopping for lethal weapons, while casually discussing an eggplant recipe on the cell phone. The clever plot never really blossoms, because everything is too restrained. Simply put, for a supposed "black comedy", this is a rather toothless effort. - MERK

I'm going to start with the positive. I really didn't recognize Amber Heard. The same Amber who were so great in "All the Boys love Mandy Lane" and should have been recognizable. Was it the colour of her hair, that made me not realize it was her? Whatever it was, she was really good in her role.

On the other hand, this tries to ground itself into reality while being completely fantastical. Like the idea behind this or not, it is not well "executed" though (no pun intended). The twist almost saves the movie, though if you really think about it, it could also make the movie redundant. Depending on how you feel about it. While it might speak to the mind, heart and soul of some (women), this still is weak realization of an idea, with lots of clichés

Acting in general is very poor, however, Jennifer Coolidge is good in this and stands Head and Shoulders way above the other actors!.

I confess to not having seen Amber Heard in many movies, except Aquaman in '17 or' 18 and one or two other movies.

Certainly in this She could have stayed home!. Her acting (as we must call it) is dreadful and much like the remainder of the cast, one finds oneself hoping the scene will end soon, the sooner the better!.

Heather Graham is also poor in her part and much like Heard, both look like deer caught in the headlights.

To conclude, I gave this 5 out of 10.

None of which is for script writing, direction or production.

As stated above the acting is very poor, some might say career ending in fact.

I gave 5 out of 10 simply because of the acting quality of Jennifer Coolidge, who IMHO held this movie together on her own!.
