The Weekend

This movie is not nearly as bad as some of the reviews would lead you to believe. Nor it is good as some of the "excellent" reviews. The acting is fine but the storyline is predictable. The movie is not hilarious but it does have its moments. The biggest problem with the movie is the age of the actors playing the teens. Everyone is obviously older than the role they are playing, which, and you would have to ask the writer, would have worked better if these "kids" were supposed to be in college. I think the storyline would have worked just as well with college age characters. The movie does have a very attractive cast and they do the best they can with the material they are given. This movie is not nearly as bad as some of the teen movies produced by the majors and if you watch it with an open mind I think you will see the future potential of many of the people involved in this film.

Bad acting, boring camera work, incredible sound problems, boring story, no real story to even speak of. There was no clear idea about why I was supposed to care. I didn't care about any of the characters or their half-baked motivations. It squeezed just about every boring cliché there is into one party. This was the worst movie I have ever seen that is trying to be taken seriously.

In addition to the movie being weak, the box art is misleading. Calling it "Unrated and off the hook" is just a terrible marketing lie. There is only one scene that could be considered adult. I'm not upset that there was hardly any of this content, I'm just offering fair warning that this movie even fails on box art.

Finally, the positive comments posted here are clearly planted. The over-all score for this film is quite poor (4.2 at the time of this review), yet all of the posted comment seem to be saying this was the best movie they have ever seen. This is the lowest of the low. Grow up.

Looks like the director's friends put in some good words for him at IMDb just looking at the comments for this movie. I'm sorry, but this is one of the absolute worst teen comedies I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. This movie makes the latter American Pie sequels seem like absolute masterpieces in comparison. That's how bad this movie was. Terrible acting. It didn't seem like there was ANY chemistry between the actors. These supposed high school students all looked like they were in their mid to late 20s. There wasn't really anything funny at all in the movie, and the pace was terribly slow and sluggish. Don't let the plant comments fool you, this movie is utter garbage. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I look at the comments applauding this movie and I wonder if these people are talking about the same movie. Obviously they are planted comments. The Weekend would have to be the worst teen movie I've ever seen. Not only was the acting atrocious but the camera work, the characters, the story line and the editing were all equally pathetic. Heres a tip for future teen movie makers. Get decent actors, a decent script, a decent story and you may make half a decent film. I've never seen such rubbish as The Weekend in all my life. I hated this movie so much that I kicked myself for wasting my bandwidth with the download and after watching it I deleted it from my computer. There goes an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. If there was a 0/10 I would give it that but I have to suffice with 1/10.

Predictable, boring and unfunny are words i would use to describe this flick. There is nothing unique about this movie that makes it stand out from any other in its (very saturated) genre. I had pretty much worked out the whole movie by the midway point as it was so predictable.

I wont even get started on the acting!! That was even worse! I have seen soap actors pull off a better job than this cast, talk about wooden? If your looking for a film that has nothing new to offer, poor acting, poor narrative, rubbish dialogue then look no further.

Did anyone else notice how old the cast were? These guys were supposed to be 16 or 17? Some with full beards etc. This only added to the pain of watching this film as it made the whole thing non believable.

This is what Superbad would have been had you taken out the humour, good dialogue, story, acting ability.

One to miss.
