The main reason I decided to watch this awesomely horrible film was because I had nothing else to do. Soup of the Day is a self-proclaimed phenomenon; having received over nine million downloads in its original, web-distributed form. Now, it has been ported over to DVD as well. The case implies that the film is completely different than the original web episodes, and **it's not**. All they've really done is stick all 19 episodes together, plus a few minutes of additional footage, then called it a feature-length film. This transition isn't a smooth one. For starters, serial web episodes work under different rules than films. They each have to be the same length, and there doesn't have to be any real continuity between each episode. Since there's a gap of time for the audience, they accept the sudden gaps of time in the show itself. When these gaps are removed, the DVD audience is left with a horribly stilted viewing experience, jumping from mini-story to mini-story, every seven minutes. This whole film reeks with disdain. First of all the plot, dull, and predictable. The message of the film was also very annoying. The premise was designed by a group of web nerds who have probably never actually spoken to a girl in real life, let alone shared a bed with one.
