Christmas Coupon (2019)
There are no words to describe how bad this movie is.
I tried several times to write this review but it's really just that bad. The "acting" often consists of a person flatly reading their line then making an appropriate facial expression to show emotion. The audio is echoing and the lighting is uneven both obviously due to low production skills and not a broadcast problem. The makeup and hair look like they were done by a 14 year old girl who was probably the little sister of the 16 year old they hired as a director. I suspect the director only got the job because his high school production of Midsummer Night's Dream wasn't horrible.
This isn't even fun bad, it's uncomfortably, embarrassingly, and in some cases, rudely bad. If you feel the need to watch just to see this train wreck you'll see all you need to in the first 15 minutes.
Neighbors (2014)
Exactly like American Pie except without humor or likable characters!!
Bad. Really really bad. The characters were utterly unpleasant to watch and seeing them made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Not embarrassed because "oh gosh! they said a dirty word!" Embarrassed like when you get invited to watch a stand up routine by someone you know. Only, they aren't funny and you wish you could laugh at something because the utter silence from the audience makes you want to run screaming from the room.
The advantage of shock humor like in Something about Mary or Idiocracy is that it's funny even if done only passably well. This movie had a huge amount of shock but nothing funny. The theater never really laughed out loud except once or twice as thought they were trying desperately to get into the movie. By half way through people were talking to each other and no one shushed them.
Seth Rogen owes me 11 bucks and 97 minutes of my life.
