R.S.V.P.

I really enjoy watching Jason Mewes doing what he does best...which isn't so much acting as it is lending his persona to this project or that project in the form of some previously agreed-upon lines. I think he's a funny guy and wanted to see how he did in a non-Smith project.

He did about the same as he does -in- a Kevin Smith project, they just gave the character a different name...but I've got no quarrel there.

The movie itself...well, I barely got through it. It swiped plot from all over the place, from Hitchcock to Clue, the board game. It also reminded me of a very badly-done play I saw in college in which the murderer was also obsessed with Leopold and Loeb...that's right, L-O-E-B, not L-O-B-E. I had trouble getting through that play as well.

Was it just me, or did American Psycho and other such current movies factor mightily in this as well? I kept getting American Psycho vibes.

Anyway...if you're a fan of Jason Mewes, by all means watch it to see him. Otherwise, if you're looking for a good horror film, your money's best spent elsewhere.

It's a crime to compare this to anything that even resembles Hitchcock! Are you people out of your mind? This ought to be the most obvious and predictable thriller in the recent years.. A bunch of people regurgitating "witty" remarks all the time, and AT the same time hardly make up for entertainment in my book. And throwing Jason Mewes in there to act like a retarded Jay without Silent Bob (i guess that's the only role he can play) was the low of the lowest. And the ending..well..let's just all forget that the whole thing existed and live a better life.

R.S.V.P. was just released here on DVD and I picked it up at the movie store because it had Jason Mewes in it. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't even read the box cover! Though I stumbled upon a great find, the movie itself is worth the few bucks to rent. A real good cast as well of young actors and actresses who are trying to shine out and get noticed. The story is about "Nick" a guy who is obsessed with murder. His friends think he's a little strange, taking after his professor. Well his ex girl hooked up with his best buddy who comes from a very well off family. Nick acted like everything was all gravy and since it was his last night in town (literally!) he decides to throw him a party! And all of his friends are invited... only thing is, not everyone is going home in one piece!

R.S.V.P. is Hitchcock's Rope meets Scream meets American Psycho...with a touch of Jay and Silent Bob. I was leery about renting this one for the longest time because of Jason Mewes. I knew I couldn't take it seriously, but then I thought "Hey, I won't take it seriously." It turned out to be an average dark comedy. But I was right about Mewes. 30 seconds into his first screen appearance he says "B*tches", makes some sexual references, and pulls out a phat bag of weed. Good ole Jay. I thought maybe he would try to do another character, but I'm sure he was hired to be himself. Along with Mewes, the rest of the cast is quite good, with newcomer Rick Otto impressing me the most. The late Glenn Quinn also deserves mention and I'm sad to see that this will be his last role. Director Mark Anthony Galluzzo showed a lot of promise here and I hope to see future endeavors from him. R.S.V.P. is a decent slasher satire but I felt it was missing something from making it a real keeper. I believe it was the ending that left a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well, it was a decent rental. You could do a lot worse.

This movie was very good in my opinion. I first picked it up because of wanting to see more of Quinn's work (having recently become a fan,all too late), and I have to say, I didn't walk in expecting much of the actual film, because I knew next to nothing about the movie at first.

It surprised me even though I wasn't expecting much. The entire flow of the story is not like a typical movie about a murderer trying to kill off a group of people. It fits together very well, and makes the viewer take a different look at what can happen. The fact that it didn't seem to focus on the blood and gore, or the way that people died, was refreshing. And the fact that they did nothing to hide it was also and unexpected, yet welcome, change.

Quinn did an excellent job in his roll, as did most of the other actors. They gave the characters a very 'real' feeling, not of perfect people, but of someone that you would go to school or work with.

The only part that was not quite up to par was the ending. It lacked that real feeling that was present through out the rest of the film. But all in all, the movie was very well put together. Something I would definitely watch more than once.
