Worst Friends

The entire movie pretty much takes place in an apartment. Script is very surface level, doesn't dive too much into how the two main characters got to this point in their lives or why they treated each other so poorly. Poorly acted. The two main characters don't have the chops to sell the scenes or make it believable that they actually liked each other at one point in there lives. Chalamet in first scene and last scene as flashbacks with little to no dialogue.

I felt like it ended quickly without a justified proper ending. Kinda felt like they left out 45 minutes of this low budget movie and basically left it up to them viewer on how it ends. Which to me just screams lazy writing. Honestly, I'm confused on why it's called, 'worst friends' could have easily been called, 'worst friend' or whatever, and been just fine. I feel sorry for the kick starter people that invested into this movie... Feels like they got ripped off.

Not sure how anyone could rate this movie above a 4. The 2 male leads are below average actors and the dialogue was clunky. I watched this movie because I am a fan of Cody Horn. Her talents and beauty are wasted. Don't waste your time on this one.

When Jake (Richard Tanne) is injured in a car accident, the only person willing to take care of him is his childhood friend Sam (Noah Barrow). With the aid of a tough-as-nails physical therapist (Cody Horn), Sam helps Jake recuperate, but when Sam's high school crush (Kristen Connolly) enters the picture, old habits and bitter rivalries resurface, threatening to tear their friendship apart.

While there are no A-list stars in this film, it has more than enough A-minus stars to make up the differences. Plenty of faces you will recognize, even if you are not quite sure why. The biggest name is likely Kristen Connolly, a regular on "House of Cards". And then there is Larry Fessenden, something of a living legend for writing, directing and acting in independent features.

The writer must be commended, for not only making the story interesting and humorous, but including references to "Rear Window" and "Misery", as well as (apparently) Wendell McAdams, a pinball machine creator. For reasons unknown, audiences love to pick up hints of a shared reference.

While the first half of the film deserves a 7, it ultimately gets only a 6 because of the rest of the film. For as great as it starts, and as humorous as it is, it becomes rather serious as the story progresses. Now, of course, there is some moral to the story that must be told, but it comes at the cost of viewing enjoyment. Still a worthwhile film, overall, and one that should do well.

This is a very interesting movie that seemed to be billed as a comedy, but is really more of a drama with moments of dark comedy here and there. It explores male friendship is a unique and complex manner by presenting two young guys who are dependent on each other in ways they're not even aware of. What makes their friendship more disturbing is the implication that they've been unwittingly harming each other emotionally since they were little kids. The central question of the movie is whether or not they will be able to break out of their toxic patterns. This is territory usually reserved for relationship movies between men and women, which makes it unusual and refreshing for a movie about male friendship. The two lead actors give strong performances and the film is beautifully composed for such an obviously low-budget affair. The story never takes the easy or cliché route, and while it may not have the Hollywood ending you're expecting, it resonated with me long after I finished watching.
