Dick Night

Must of had and issues with the title. Movie has been re-released for 2020 as 'Rachel Gets Strange'. Same movie with uninspired plot.

So I watched this movie under a different title - Rachel Gets Strange. I thought it was hilarious and more interesting and unique than I expected. Don't go into this with the expectation of a dirty, raunchy comedy a la American Pie. It's a low-budget, underrated horror comedy and actually much better and funnier than these reviews imply.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this one. Particularly it's comedy. And it was suspensful at times as well. Overall an 8, because I didn't even expect it to be that epic and was still positively surprised. A decently done combo of good acting for the most part, funny lines and reactions and thrilling scenes. If you're not here just to be critical then give it a chance..

The first third of the movie was actually rather enjoyable. Nothing spectacular, but it established the characters well and featured a decent script with decent acting and decent cinematography.

The second third of the movie was tedious, as if the script had been handed over to a new writer, or if the writer stepped out of his comfort zone into an area he simply didn't understand (or at least didn't understand how to deal with). Around this time the production values started heading south (seriously, how hard is it to filter out hard-surface resonance in post-production? Get a free copy of Audacity to do it!), as did the acting (though the latter may have been caused by the tedium of the script in this section).

The final third was just a free-for-all, falling to the depths of what seems to be painfully common in movies these days - something reminiscent of a high school kid weekend assignment. Camera all over the place, horrid acting, and not a shred of coherent script anywhere to be found.

It started out so promising, shame the effort didn't continue all the way through - it could've been great.

Kept my attention Honestly loved Rachel and maybe even her future roommate dynamic. But this movie was like a limp dick- so full of promise but failed to deliver. Was delighted to see what this movie was originally called and made more sense.
