    Funny, good feel, romance, payback!

    This was a mix of everything, and it's the best I've seen in a while.

    This is the kind of movie that gives you a few bullies and doesn't try to give you a lesson in morals, but instead sates your wants, Karma!

    If you love people getting payback then this is your piece of cake!

    Embarrassing

    An embarrassingly cheap British rip-off of SPREE which sees a guy losing his talent show audition before going on a rampage of revenge. Made for a pittance during the pandemic and it shows; everything is stilted making this feel like a sketch show at times. Sadly, it's also not in the least bit funny, with the humour over obvious and awkward in that British way. A shame as there are some normally reliable faces (Kris Marshall, Pippa Heyward) here.

    A future cult film

    The thing that drew me to this quirky film was the name Nick Gillespie, he was DOP on the brilliant series Trigger Point and he wrote & directed this. Admittedly you probably have to have a very twisted sense of humour to enjoy every juicy detail but it's absolutely hilarious from start to end credits. Although it's not a big budget outing, it's beautifully shot and edited throughout and the acting was superb.

    Do yourself a favour and take time out to watch this gem, you will not be disappointed.

    Shambles

    With quite a good array of British comedy talent I expected more. This was just horrific in writing and performance. I can't believe the pittance it cost to finance was actually offered up by producers after reading the script.

    I, imo, loved this x

    I absolutely LOVED THIS!! I'm a neurodivergent teen, making it hard for me to pay attention and It can take me weeks to watch a full movie, and this is one of the very few films I've watched in one sitting!!

    Me being who I am, usually makes me find the unfunny, well, funny, and there's a lot of movies that are supposed to be serious or are poorly done I find hilarious. I think if you're apart of genZ and have poor humour, you'd enjoy this film like me and my sister (I'd also recommend watching this with someone so you can mock/add commentary to the film.)

    Imo, this has to be my FAVOURITE movie that Tom Meeten has been in, I was excited to watch this because I've enjoyed him in many other movies or shows and this didn't disappoint me.

    But then again, I am just a neurodivergent teen writing a review just for fun, so listen to the many other reviews that there are.

    I also apologise if this is written very poorly, I wrote this at night plus I'm not a good writer at all.
