Buddy Hutchins

I watched this because I remembered the guy from Malibu's Most Wanted and thought he was hilarious in that. I don't think it's a spoiler to say he's no longer hilarious. This was the stupidest acting job I've seen since I watched Keanu Reeves try to speak with an English accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's not that Kennedy is a bad actor, it's just that I didn't care if his character lived or died--he didn't bring anything to it. If you don't care about the main character, what's the point? Really, no kidding, a very lame picture. The first half was promising but after about 40-45 minutes it went downhill so fast it was all I could do to keep watching. Save your money and your time.

My gosh!!! This film is messed up.. but in an entertaining way.

The first 5 minutes you get the impression this is a low budget movie and to be honest I expected it to be crap. Pleasantly surprised to find myself warming to this Buddy character as his life melts around him. I would say this film has an identity crisis because by the end you're thinking its part comedy, party slash horror, thriller and who knows what. All done without fuss especially the violent moments.

The acting from the main character is very good but some of the other characters however need a few more classes but I didn't feel it made any difference. The film is based around a subject matter that many can relate to and the results are what some may fantasise about (if only for a brief moment).

Not an epic film but you can certainly tell the makers cared for this all the way down to the end credits.

But, all in all, I feel Jamie Kennedy gave a great performance. Seeing the declining mental state of a recovering alcoholic, after enduring everything his character went through, and how he portrayed it, deserves more than the "critics" have given it. Agreed, some of the performances were hard to watch. But, it feels as if they were new to acting. But the "better known" actors and actresses, did a decent job. Maybe a little different direction from the director would have been good. But strictly giving Jamie Kennedy a solid 9/10 for his performance. Everything else drops the score to a soft 7/10.

Man I don't really know what to say. THis movie is so bad. I believe the worst two things about it are 1. The acting. Kennedy was never good in his career but in this he obviously was doing it for a paycheck. All the no name actors were just atrocious. Its really hard to watch without feeling embarrassed. 2. The sound design. Watch for yourself. Jamie kennedy has a blazing guitar solo at one part while playing one note???? The footsteps don't match the video or the proper sound they should be making which makes it really hard to watch as well. And who color graded the thing? The color grade changes mid shot in some scenes!!!! And there is an awful haze over a lot of it. I guess the only real purpose of the movie is to show a film class on what not to do when making and editing a film. 0/10

I saw this on Prime under the title FALLING DOWN AGAIN, a weak attempt to link it to the cult Michael Douglas starrer that wowed us all in the early 1990s. Well, this film is nothing like, and indeed nothing more than a gory B-movie thriller with an oddly camp tone. It stars SCREAM's Jamie Kennedy as a family man who reaches breaking point due to a combination of social, marital and work-related woes, and eventually what slim plotting exists gives way to a simple bloodbath. Truth be told, there's very little here of note: the acting is annoyingly over the top, including from Kennedy, there are no sympathetic characters, and the violence is simply goofy.
