Doesn’t quite hit the spot
Overall the movie is fairly enjoyable but it has some turns that just feels very forced and contrived.And although the cast does a fine job there are some random character developments with some of the smaller roles that seem to happen instantly and completely out of the blue, for instance the popular girl who’s personality literally changes from one scene to the next in one moment of the film.
And other random odd ideas, which doesn’t seem like they were meant to be funny but just poor script-writing and lack of knowledge of human interaction or potentially something made up on spot while filming.
I won’t go into too much details as I don’t like to spoil movies but I’m sure if you watch it you’ll figure out instances I could be referring to.
Anyways besides that yeah it’s fairly entertaining it’s just not as good as it could have been.
Oh and despite Brendan Fraser and Alex Wolff’s tennis get-up on the poster I don’t actually remember them playing tennis once in the movie (and I just watched it) so unless I dozed off a minute and they did that for 20 seconds then there’s no tennis in this movie (and that seems unlikely).
not bad for an unknown film…
I actually liked this movie, although I can see why others wouldn’t. When I started watching, I thought it was a Brendan Frasier film, but it is most definitely not. Although he does a fine job in it, he is most definitely in a supporting role here. The acting was all around pretty good and the jokes, although a bit obscure, were quite good. It seemed to be fairly well written, and definitely had a certain ” feel ” to it from beginning to end. My suggestion would be that if you enjoy Wes Anderson films, you’ll probably enjoy this. It’s not quite as Quirky and odd, but definitely has the same vibe to it. Would definitely recommend for a rental.
