For the Weekend

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.

Lube belt on a car, don't know how to start a hot tub, don't know how to turn on a barbecue pit, cut telephone wires maybe just twist two together to get phone back on. People taking ecstasy and getting great sleep at night. Not noticing any cameras on the house once they got there I didn't notice them later. Doesn't anyone check real life scenarios before they put script together parent Lee not. Horrible acting. Horrible storyline. Not funny at all although is is a comedy supposedly.

I didn't even smirk or smile! It's not a thriller either as nothing really happens. For a start, do ALL men think they look good unshaven? It's not a beard, it is just men looking like they haven't shaved for a few days, dirty, unkempt. Not a fan of beards which can be a menu of whatever they ate. But back to the movie: No reason given for Margot keeping her door locked. Abby inviting herself and then inviting Joe to join in the hot tub, and stay the night? If I was with a group of friends, I would voice my objection. Meant to be friends weekend not free for all. Who would be stupid enough to believe a Neighborhood Watch when there is no one for 10 miles and not call the police?

Stupid movie, waste of time, even in isolation!

I love a good film from all sorts of genres, this however is a complete waste of my life. Do not watch it. I never leave reviews but this is sooo bad I had to. Just awful

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.
