Groupers

Director Anderson Cowan takes risks in his first feature length film. Reviewers who are displeased with his risk taking are falsly calling this movie trash. It is an edgy and poignant perspective on a sensative topic, but it is tastefully done. Watch Groupers without bringing your own baggage and you will enjoy it as art instead of a personnel threat.

Cheers to this fun movie! Well acted and Directed, Its a good time.

For a movie on a shoestring budget it looked good. The movie started off pretty well but it was just too long and ran out of steam. The last act with new character introductions were thinly written and juvenile. It just did not stick the landing. That said I thought the movie showed promise and the 1st half I would rate a 8 stars the last half 4 stars. This is not a good as some of the reviews suggest ( fans ) and certainly not as bad as some ( just angry ) reviewers suggest. Not for everyone but you can do much worse.

This movie was fun in parts, had better than the theatre student acting I've seen in many other B movies and had memorable scenes. Though I wasn't in love with the writing, it worked for the quirky characters who weren't part of the movie's A story. It wasn't quite the hidden gem I look for but I appreciate what was accomplished with what the movie makers had.

Groupers is never going to win an oscar, but it is a bit of fun. I have seen a lot worse and this effort from a first time Director is much better than some of the formulaic dross on Netflix/Amazon.
