    Seems unfinished

    Movie seems unfinished. Or there's a lot of scenes missing that were supposed to provide context. Idk. I won't comment on acting. I think a lot of things like could've been ignored if it had a decent plot. Base plot is good but I think they had too many ideas they tried to push in not enough time. Ended up with nothing resolved at the end

    A Grade School Movie

    This movie is a waste of time to watch, an amateurish piece of garbage... walking the dog to the park is more fun.

    I understood the intention of the film but the production is very, very cheap

    The perfect allegory for this film is the same with restaurants. We usually visit those restaurants that are recommended to us or have good reviews, then you visit and discover the tragic reality. This film doesn't know what it wants to be. I know it's an independent film and it's not easy to make movies, but besides some problems with the script, there are unforgivable technical problems, mainly with the audio editing. The premise of the script is interesting but the acting seems close to that of a high school film. I wish all the luck to the authors and director but I didn't like the film very much.

    Charming

    I liked it. A real, feel-good comedy movie but serious in a way. Honestly was good fun, watched it with my family and we had some great laughs.

    Don't be fooled

    It was a disaster... This is a narcissist need of father and son (I assume) to write and play together. There are ZERO acting skills, the plot is mediocre and the acting, again, it is a persoanl need that is asking us for money and attention. In a world where time is a commodity, this is a waste of it. Spend your time (and dime) wisely. Avoid this one.

      Mortimer: [to Medor, about his restaurant] Let me tell you something... this place? It's gonna be a dream. Dreams are great for beatin' off.
