Lacey S @RT57742604 Aug 30, 2026 This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I'm a pretty forgiving audience. The plot was an okay idea, but the execution was downright embarrassing. The acting, dialogue, music - you name it - were all just dreadful. The only reason I watched it all the way through was for its trainwreck factor and the dim hope that maybe, just maybe, some aspect of the production might improve along the way. I started to enjoy it a tiny bit when I tweaked my perspective and viewed it as a a comedy, but even then I felt bad for anyone involved in making this atrocity. I will never get back this 90 minutes of my life, and I share this review as a warning so that you don't waste your precious moments on this pitiful movie See more Lacey T. @LaceyJane Jan 16, 2026 No idea how this has over 90% rating. Tricked me into sitting through half of this movie, kept hoping it would get better. Once I saw the scene where the mom is attacked with the cheese wind blowing through her hair I turned it off lol. So bad See more J s @RT83925513 Dec 4, 2023 The acting and story were fighting with each other for worst performance. Anyone who rates this higher than a 2 is either paid off or a cast member See more juan c @RT88876122 Oct 15, 2023 It was okay. I like the twist at the end See more Wright J @RT98192167 Jul 18, 2023 Trash.. don't waste your time. See more Aldis H @plever Feb 16, 2023 I wasn't crazy about this movie for over half the time because I thought the tone of the characters was amateurishly written. Then the last act came and I was completely blown away. This movie defies expectations at every turn. It's got a big surprise that makes the conflicting character behavior make sense, and I didn't think the movie could be redeemed. I was knitting my eyebrows thinking shark jump several times, but no. It's almost like they want you to think it's kind of stupid so they can hit you over the head with the ending, which is brilliant and very touching. The conceit is pulled off perfectly, which makes the acting incredible when I thought it was slipshod writing. Insane. Never seen anything like it. Patrick Rea's work everywhere is stunning. His story is subversive. Watch out. You've been warned. Ben Benefield's music and sound design are gorgeous. Who is this guy? See more Read all reviews
