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.

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 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.

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!
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.
