Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse

I wasn't familiar with Diani & Devine prior to watching this on Amazon and gave it a shot simply because I enjoyed the trailer. But this movie was so much fun. I laughed throughout. If this was a Kickstarter funded indie major props to them! This film was so packed with talent and laughs, I had such a blast watching it. I really hope they make more films, or even a series. They have a great comedic chemistry and have no trouble poking at themselves. The film is really well put together. It is well written, acted, directed, shot and edited. So much heart and polish and comedy. Someone throw some money at these guys so they keep making stuff!

Cute, funny, currently relative. Smartly goofy, well-written and directed disaster film. If you need to laugh at the world right now (summer 2020), this is a good one to go with.

A different take on surviving the apocalypse. A wry comedy that follows a pair of actors as they attempt to survive after society has broken down. A lot of the humor is subtle and comes from the characters low key reactions to stressful situations. The absurdity of politely chatting with acquaintances they ran into while out looking for supplies in an abandoned grocery store. Its an amusing indie movie,

I streamed Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse after enjoying Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine's first movie, the horror-comedy The Selling which I checked out from the local library. Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse delighted audiences at small indie movie festivals and it's easy to see why. It's one of those comical oddity gems, the type that you sometimes find distributed by Fox Searchlight pictures. Too bad this movie hasn't had the same kind of exposure. It begins by roasting the Hollywood star-making machine (maybe why it hasn't been distributed more widely) before it parodies those us-against-them apocalyptic survival flicks. It's all done with a clever script, fine acting and sharp editing. You'll want to watch it more than once to make sure you catch all the jokes.

My husband and I really enjoyed this one! So quirky and funny. Really great writing. Highly recommend!
