A Happening of Monumental Proportions

What a weird show. The casting director must've called in every favor they had. The problem this was not the direction or the acting. It was the story. With better writing this could've actually been OK. Instead, I kept wondering why the writer wrote what he wrote. After having watched the movie, I still can't figure it out. There was no point to it. I should've believed the reviews.

Most of the actors in this did a decent job. Katie Holmes's part was kind of a waste. She must really like Judy Greer or something.

But the star of the show was the casting Director. I can't think of any other reason why all of these good actors were in this.

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.

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

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.

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...
