Oh boy. This is a mix of Ferris Bueller mixed with Tootsie mixed with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Not an easy combo to get right, but these guys pull it off with flying colors! Two very charming main characters anchor the love story and the zany ensemble keeps a steady supply of laughs (and obstacles) coming. Easy movie to watch over and over and over, always finding new hilarious details each time.
I have never seen or heard of a comedy like Our Scripted Life. It is a storyline that kept my attention the entire time with interesting, hilarious characters. Nothing cheesy or cliche like most comedies nowadays that have obvious punchlines. It's an original. Great stuff.
I had the opportunity to view an advanced screening of this film and I am so glad I went. I was not familiar with the team that made the film so my expectations were not high but I was very pleased with the story and acting. I am not sure even how to describe the film because the characters take such a journey, crossing genres, geographies. Although the film is hilarious with several laughs, it also has a sweet side. The soundtrack is excellent as well.
I was invited to a screening this weekend by a friend and I decided to go despite being under the weather. The story is pretty unique and flows really well. There is a funny twist which I won't reveal but the film is almost two separate stories. The actors were incredible and made an already funny premise even more hilarious with their reactions. There are some over the top characters and scenes which would be hard to pull off but this cast really did shine. The church scene and dinner scene might be the funniest thing I have seen in the past few years. The time in the theater flew by and I literally thought it was a short film until I looked at my phone and realized we had been inside almost two hours. I look forward to seeing this film again when it is released.
Every few years a low budget comedy comes along that outshines its big-budget competitors and delivers something unique. Our Scripted Life is that film for 2019. It may be the only film I have ever seen that has sophomoric humor blended with cerebral humor, a viable love story, and plot twists that constantly keep you guessing. The crowd laughed almost non-stop and gave a standing ovation at the end. I got to meet a few cast members and they were so humble and nice. I hope great things for all involved.
