A Happening of Monumental Proportions

One look at the cast and it's just amazing that all these people agreed to do this monumentally stupid film. They must have REALLY been hurting for work during the pandemic? Dunno. I RARELY write reviews but this one was such a waste of time, waste of talent, waste, waste, waste...

Not exactly what one was expecting but it turned out to have this touching thing going on in the interface between the child and adult worlds - for me anyway. The disappointed user reviews suggest the film was marketed wrongly as another gross-out caper, which it only sort of is. OK some scenes are a bit awkward and off-beat, but actually consider it a dark comedy drama dealt out with a deft and light touch. I enjoyed the rich photography of the edge of city school location especially the glowing finale, the heart warming pop soundtrack, and the actors of all ages are great with quirky characters to match. Give it a break dissing it and let others have a try -- or is urbanity and optimism now so really out of fashion?

No worries- this isn't a spoiler; starts out with the dead guy.

In one word - Cute? That's all I've got. You can tell that this was an earnest first try in directing by someone who got her famous friends together to do a indie project. Script was weak. Too many big names with small, unneeded parts.

Began as what I thought would be a dramady with trying to hide a dead body found on school grounds right before school was to open. We got a little backstory in a couple kids and grownups at drop off. Mixed in a little suspense at the workplace. And Bob. What's going to happen when Bob meets Daniel?

There seemed to be no effort of anything, um, monumental. I may have been happier if I had found out who the dead guy was. "Red Herring", I believe, was his name. Dead guy and title is what made me want to watch. Don't watch. Get crib notes.

As the title says it's one weird movie. It goes nowhere!

This is not horror,thriller,romance,drama,sci-fi,musical or comedy, its just a bunch of actors that are usually above average standard in the art of acting, clinging to a ozone layer thin storyline about stupid teachers, a dead man,a lottery ticket,a damaged coffee machine,dultrey and adultry and soforth. its just a mess of a screenwriters decline toward alzheimer because it shows all the signs of a demented person. this comedy didnt even make me smile,it didnt even engage a braincell which ive got tens/tons of,a motheaten product of nothing. i give 2 because of the children.
