Race You to the Bottom

This is one of those movies that has absolutely NO redeeming values or reasons to watch. Since the synopsis is pretty accurate, I'll just concentrate on the basics here. The script is linear and understandable, but completely unrelatable. NONE of the characters is likeable; I know this has been used by some film makers as a plot device so the viewers subtly start rooting for the anti-hero, but no...these characters are not only awful, but they are boring. Most of the film is just people talking, and not saying much of anything at all. In fact, if there were a moral anywhere here, it's that bi-sexual men are apparently narcissistic and evil and women are confused and spiteful. The end. What I WILL say is that the cinematography and editing was GREAT...completely wasted on such a lackluster film. And while there was no attraction to any of the characters, I will say the female lead was good in her role; she may have been type-cast, but she did a good job, which is why I added a star here. But unless you are a friend of hers, that is not a reason to watch this.

I dont know whats the point of movie. yeh the performance is somehow OK, its a low budget movie. the story starts somehow understandable , gets interesting and then in the end it gets stupid.

the way i see, its like "cheaters" have feeling too. means its story about a girl and guy who are having affair, and they talk about their feeling and stuff the whole time until the in the end.

and then what the hek is that ending?...

-----------------spoilers----------------- so even in the end, the met at hiking track , and they both got someone else. but then they start having an affair ?.. means again they cheat on their significant one. that disgusting.

An arrogant jackass meets an airhead. This was a total waste of time. Not sure what the writer was trying to do but it didn't work.

The best acting was done by the car.

I agree with another reviewer here about the film's decent technical quality, but I wouldn't extend that to acting. Amber Benson is good, actually, but the rest of the cast is pretty much sub-par. I particularly thought many of Cole Williams' lines were read poorly.

The story could have been interesting, but the script didn't do it justice. The dialog sounded forced and stilted much of the time. It just didn't ring true, didn't sound like true life. When the plot conflict develops, I couldn't quite see the reason for it. There didn't seem to be anything happening that hadn't happened before so I couldn't understand the characters' reactions.

It was difficult not to compare this movie to Sideways. Not that they had all that much in common except the location, but that was enough to have me constantly thinking of how much better this movie could have been.

I watched this movie as I had a spare hour and a half and the 73 minute running time intrigued me, as I often find that a lot films these days are over inflated and over long. This film is a confusing "love" story with an unlikeable lead. The casting of the leading male actor was a mistake as far as I was concerned. He didn't (to me) have the charisma required to portray the "lothario" he was convinced he was. His looks bordered on effeminate. Don't get me wrong, effeminacy does not bother me in the slightest,but in this case, I found it hard to find the actor/character as irresistible as the film would have you believe. Kudos however must go to the lady playing the female lead. I felt she gave a good performance and she made me feel for her. Which is a definite plus, right? The road trip format of this movie has been done before. And I quite enjoy road trips if the traveling companions are interesting and the destination is worth the trip. In this case, it wasn't. Not a total waste of time, but I would not recommend this as a must see.
