Comedy movies are in a sad state and Let's Start A Cult is a breath of fresh air. It's not at the level of a lot of great comedies but Stavy carries this film and 90% of it is quite good. There are a few scenes where the acting is pretty questionable and a few pieces of the story could have been fleshed out a bit better but overall it really highlights the strength of Stavros as an actor and his ability to carry with his personality. There are very few movies I'd just throw on and rewatch after seeing them and this is one of them. I'd love to see more from this group and hope it made enough money to justify it.

It's a low grade goofy movie and if you like Stav you'll like it. I really had no expectations going into this movie but laughed a bit and enjoyed it overall.

It felt like this movie could've benefited from either being a little darker humored or a little sillier because it fell in between often and had an odd tone.

The characters all were entertaining and this probably could've easily been fleshed out more and been a smaller limited series. Stav was pretty good and if you're like me he's the reason you found this movie and are here.

Overall 6/10. But don't let that score mislead you into thinking I didn't like this. It just wasn't perfectly my humor so some things didn't land for me.

Watch the movie for yourself. Don't skip this one based on the 5.9 score. It was a funny, raunchy, comedy that wasn't trying to lecture it's audience. I had some laugh out loud moments that I don't get anymore with other current comedies.

Stavros was a confident and fun lead man. He wasn't ashamed to bare it all hahaha. A lot of these reviews are critiquing this movie like it was supposed to be the godfather and the movie knows what it is. It's a sit-down, eat something, and forget about your day type of movie. It's not a serious project and I believe the director is aware of that. Overall it's a good comedy with an original premise.

It's a movie that was a fun watch and a good comedy it kept me intrigued by the characters all the way. It is about two guys who we're in a previous suicide cult thinking to start anew

The movie definitely deserves more credit than it does because of the way the story goes along and how it keeps the viewer entertained by the change of scenery or introduction of a new character.

I expected a B-movie for some quick entertainment for the background, but instead got a super funny movie that really shows that the writers/director know that it's a comedy and made sure to remind you of that! It was a classic stoner movie to me.

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.

Honestly, I found the movie really enjoyable and funny. It's obviously dumb and there are many plot holes if you look for them, but that's not the point.

It's exactly what it's supposed to be. A fun goofy comedy where you can turn your brain off and get some laughs. Brings you back to the early 2000's comedies. We need more movies like this. Hopefully this movie makes enough to warrant working on another one, as well as motivating other comedians to give something like this a shot.

Considering this was Stavros' first go at it, I'm excited to see what he comes up with next!(: I'll definitely be there to support.

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.

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.

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.

For all the American underdogs who fail to achieve the American "family" the film gives hope to achieve status unconventionally - it is worthwhile that we belong as people on the planet....it reveals American naivety in its people for false pursuits in the guise of nihilism zeitgeist which seems to have taken hold of the United States since the 1970s...while its dialogue is difficult at times to catch its subtleties the main purpose of the film is to support the new American oddball identities regardless of how these came to be, and is not a piece of entertainment for entertainment's sake but social commentary on greater problems plaguing the United States: are we worth keeping ourselves alive? The characters fail to deliver their lines as usual comedies do and build verbal and physical awkwardness to express this American angst many feel in real life...there is no perfect timing and the fight to prove the truth is valid.

The film is serious and of realism...the light humor of the tone and camaraderie lets us know we are not alone in this country and our lives are worth living - hope, family and the slight against the establishment (murder of police) - sits securely as the new American position for the new American family : us against the judge? System? Religion? Depression? Propaganda? And remember, never trust the guy with an acoustic guitar. It is he who is against us and representative of all those other institutions.

*first edition lost to clumsy fingers.

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!

It's been a loooooooong time since any "comedy" I've seen is actually funny. This was a refreshing watch.. a comedy that is actually funny at times. It's been years since Ive seen anything remotely similar.

Unlike most recent films, this film is NOT a drama being marketed as comedy because there's 1 scene that may be amusing half way through.. this is a comedy.. start to end... It's absurd, ludicrous, ridiculous.. and that's the point.

Stavros has always been a bit underrated in my opinion. He does a great job in this, as does everyone else. And seeing Joe Pera was a surprise (always thought Joe's voice was an act... maybe it's not since it's the same in this.)

The premise.. from the start.. is humorous.... and maintains the pacing....

The humor may not be to everyone's taste, but if it IS your taste.. you'll love this.

Worth a watch.

For a low budget movie the quality of the comedy in this movie is excellent. If you like fun, stupid movies that know what they are and aren't trying to be anything, but the best version of themself than this movie is for you. It's a funny premise, the actors in it do a great job, and Inlaughed. What more do you want?

If your a fan of comedy especially Stavros then you'll love this movie even more. Stavros is a rising star and I think in a few years will be an even larger presence in the comedy movie world than he already is right now. He's a rising comedic actor from his role in Tires and now this. I think this is third the start for him but what a start it is. Laughed my ass off.

Let's Start a Cult is a sharp, well-shot indie comedy that lands more often than not. Stavros Halkias leads with greasy charm, grounding the absurdity with a performance that's both unpolished and weirdly precise. The writing is tight, the humor smart without being smug, and the film is funnier than it has any right to be. Joe Pera drops in for a brief, quietly hilarious cameo that adds just the right touch of surreal calm. Visually, it's crisp, deliberate, and better-looking than most indie comedies. Offbeat, confident, and surprisingly polished, it outpaces most comedies with ten times the budget.

This is a B slap stick comedy movie. It's funny! If you're expecting a massive budget comedy, skip. If you're looking to laugh a bit here and there, movie is perfect 10/10 for what it is!

The movie drives a funny concept around cults and a guy on a journey of goofy self discovery. There are a few hilarious parts and a few boring dumb parts, but overall thought it was great.

The main character is a funny comedian and you can see the cross over of his comedy and this movie. I think he's pretty funny and his style of delivery in the movie is hilarious as well. I'd watch any future movies with him in it.

Give it a chance!
