Let's Start a Cult

I had low expectations for this movie going in and it blew my socks off. It was AMAZING, IT WAS EVERYTHING A COMEDY IN 2024 SHOULD BE. Laughs throughout, it had a great story, character development, surprises, plot twists, the ood guys come out on top.

To think this movie was dreampt up and made by a comedian and a couple of producers that did short films for $300k A bagel with shmere is $8. What they pulled off is nothing short of incredible. It looked and felt like a real movie, for me and my era, it's up there with grandma's boy, pineapple express, The lowest anyone should rate this film is an 8.5, that's being a harsh critic, rented it on date night and you found out she was banging your best friend, that's a spite score. I was shocked to see some of the ratings for this movie and I think there's a organized effort to try and tank it (not cool at all) one site said 30%, I have to go the other way and while I would rate it an 8.75, now it's a 10. Do your part, watch the movie, it's really funny, and then leave honest reviews with 10's. We won't let this gang of negative Nancies win. We are all we got in this world, we owe Chip, he'd help us out the same. Ten/Ten 10/10.

I'm not sure why this doesn't get better reviews, it's hilarious and refreshingly different. It made me belly laugh several times, and the last two lines of the movie may be the funniest ending out there. It's sort of in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite, an out there concept with hilarious one liners hidden throughout. Yeah it's kinda weird, but that's what makes it great. I've also rewatched a few times, it gets funnier each time and I pick up on jokes that I missed with the first watch. The writers and actors are great, it's believable even though the premise is farfetched. Give it a try if you need a laugh!

This movie hilariously explores the ways in which people end up in a cult. I love the way we explore each cult member's background which are all uniquely quirky and interesting. These multifaceted characters almost had you rooting for cult members at times or laughing at how naive they are. The cinematography is very stylistically interesting and the writing is smartly funny. We buckled over laughing at the plot choices at times, staying on the edge of our seat excited to hear what's next. I could totally see this becoming a cult classic in the future as more people discover it. A great watch while high.

Movie was made on a shoestring budget but I got more laughs out if it than any new comedies on Netflix. Stavi is hilarious in his debut role. He is closer to John Belushi than any actor I have seen, meaning he can play the obnoxious yet loveable character that many can't pull off. Well worth the $5 on Amazon and I hope it leads to more roles in comedies that we desperately need. Stavi plays a loveable loser in a doomsday cult who is always in trouble with the cult leader. He leaves the cult to go back home to live with his parents but is disillusioned with a 9 to 5 life and decides to start a new cult of his own. Simple plot, lots of laughs.

Big fan of Stav's famous podcast, Crumbtown, where Madam is a gay bug, Brick is a Chinese man with a small benis, and Stav is the fattest man in the world. I'm watching the movie now and there are a ton of laughs. The laughs represent the approximate weight of Stavros.

The jokes are funny. Some of the scenes are absolutely looney. The writing ... Tells a story. The acting... Is done. Stav isn't the best actor, but he's one of the best in this movie. Some of the cameos or supporting roles were a very nice surprise. Ethan Supplee, for example, could be arguably the Stavros prototype. If Stav was born 10 or 15 years earlier, he might have also kickstarted a respectable acting/comedy career with Jay and Silent Bob.

It was a funny movie that I'd love to watch again.
