Cursed Friends

I'm almost the target demographic (but not quite) so I appreciated some of the jokes and laughed out loud a few times. I remember MASH etc.

On the other hand, this is definitely geared towards a kind of immature demographic, even as a fun comedy for Millennials. There were a lot of fart jokes and sex jokes that aren't that funny and just come across as either lame or gross to me as an adult. Were they picturing Millennial parents watching this with their adolescent kids? If so why were there also so many references to porn and masturbation?

Harvey Guillen consistently stole the show for me as the gay wanna-be-influencer lying about his age to get Gen Z clients and followers. I also thought adding Nicole Richie was a nice touch. I kept waiting for Paris Hilton to make a cameo appearance, but instead there was just way too much NSYNC.

This film is pretty decent. Usually a lot of horror comedy movies dont work well. This one made for comedy central however is pretty good. It got some laughs out of me here and there. Maybe not overlly funny. But it didn't need to be really because the film was still interesting and entertaining. A group of friends play mash and many years later it starts to come to life after a series of strange events. They are erica, mikayla, andy and josh. Played by jessica lowe,nicole byer,harvey guillen and andrew lewis caldwell. All of which I thought were great and worked well for a bunch of fridnds with their quirks and whatnot. There are also special appearences by rob riggle, will arnett and joey fatone as himself. Overall it is a pretty good film that is fun, not a lot of horror but it was overall enjoyable.

Even as a GenX'er, I thought the Millennial humor was funny. Plot was good and perfect for what I was looking for - something that kept my attention, made me laugh, and helped pass the time. I would definitely watch it again. Some of the humor was cringy, but that was the point. I was kind of hoping the ending would have been different, but oh well. I thought it was well written and well acted. Take it for what it is - a campy quasi-horror comedy. I love the movies during spooky season. This one fits in just fine. Not everyone is going to get this movie. The twists and play on words added a bit of something to the movie. Watch it if you get the chance.

Twenty years ago, four kids are given a game for Halloween Trick or Treat. They play it and it predicts their future. It's twenty years later. Erica Greenspan (Jessica Lowe), Mikayla (Nicole Byer), and Andy (Harvey Guillén) are still best of friends. Josh (Andrew Lewis Caldwell) is Erica's annoying brother. Erica finds the game in the basement and the four of them read their childhood predictions. They are coming true but in unexpected ways.

The concept needs some more explaining. It's confused, and that keeps the story from coming together. I normally love many of these comedic actors. Without a cohesive script, they are mostly flailing around here. This one fails at the script stage. I still very much love these actors and that allows me to maintain some interest.

I had not heard about this 2022 TV movie comedy titled "Cursed Friends" from writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg prior to sitting down to watch it here late in 2022. So I wasn't sure what I was in for, aside from it being a comedy.

And with the cast ensemble that was in the movie, I figured that director Laura Murphy's movie would be a funny one. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch "Cursed Friends" without ever having heard about it.

The storyline in the movie was sort of mundane and bland, and I have to say that I was only mildly entertained by what writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg managed to dish out here. And while I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch it a second time. Nor is it a movie that is going to become a Halloween classic.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, and they definitely had a good ensemble of actors and actresses in the movie. Just a shame that the script and storyline was sort of limited.

I must admit that I was expecting a lot more comedy from the movie "Cursed Friends", especially since it aired on Comedy Central.

My rating of "Cursed Friends" lands on a four out of ten stars.
