Oh my goodness!!! Even Enrico who brings passion and creativity to every role COULDNT save this! Did they kidnap your family and hold them for ransom? The ransom being you participating in this film.
Well I guess everyone had an off day or a few, as this clearly wasn't filmed in 24 hours. Or maybe it was...I fast forwarded through almost all of it only pausing for the scenes Enrico was in...I guess the naysayers were right-NOBODY is perfect, although prior to watching this I was pretty much thinking ( and saying) Enrico was...
So no more like this please! My heart can't take it. Just post a warning label or something over the opening credits to warn those of us who are your biggest fans....

Loved this movie!!! Uncle Tony lol. And Jann Arden was 🔥 definitely recommend to the stoner culture and anyone else who likes original movie plots! Reminded me of Groundhog Day with a twist of Bad Santa. All the characters were so well developed. This deserves a wider Audience. I've been watching 5'7 films for the past few years, major fan of what they have accomplished. I hope Vandits gets more attention as it deserves. Oh ya Ricky from
Trailer park boys cameo was amazing. And great to see writer / producer / directors Adam Rodness and Stu Stone insert themselves as hilarious bit parts. Truly a great movie. Can't wait to see what's next.
I'm rating this one a 7/10. You might look at that score and think that it means it's a mediocre movie, but it doesn't mean that. This movie is better than mediocre, it's ok. It's not good otherwise I would have given it an 8, but it's close. I had fun watching it, I was looking for movies about time loops and this was kinda what I was looking for. I was intrigued with the whole concept explained in that movies about zombies in Las Vegas, I can't remember it's name at the moment. So yeah I was looking for some kind of funny comedy about time loops like it was a videogame. Imagine it as a game, a videogame.
Quirky comedy "Vandits" laudably applies a "Groundhog Day" twist to a "Bad Santa" styled Christmas small-town-crime flick... but too weirdly for it to work. Tony Nappo, Francesco Antonio, Jesse Camacho & Victoria Gwendoline are a dumb, amateur wannabe crime gang out to rob Enrico Colantoni & Rob Wells' bingo hall on Xmas Eve... but as each experiences a failed & violently fatal heist conclusion, they flashback to their van to start it all over... and over. Co-writer (with Adam Rodness) / director Stuart Stone takes a dark yet silly approach... which doesn't work. Canada's low-budget "I Like Movies" was a top 2023 movie... but similar category "Vandits" sure ain't.
Four idiots call themselves "The Vandits". They are robbing the Christmas Eve bingo game hosted by Ned (Enrico Colantoni). Something's wrong as it goes Groundhog Day.
This is a Canadian indie comedy. I recognize Enrico Colantoni who is the only truly funny performer here. I do know that one guy from Trailer Park Boys and Jann Arden. Here's the deal. The Vandits group needs to be funnier. They need funnier actors. They're not actually funny. They're only pretending to be funny. I would keep the fat guy and drop the rest. Maybe keep the girl if one has no expectation of her character being funny.
