The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (2011 TV Movie)

Comedy? Certainly! However, wish I could see more done with it.

[5/10 · 5 April 2020]

To begin, there are great moments in this movie. The comical elements are well placed, and the movie is entertaining. As with any movie, it has its downfalls. First, its script must have been over-edited, as it felt too choppy, inconsistent, and the plot was not clear. As a comedy, it would take a title, but in a performance atmosphere, it lacks. Certainly the comedy was delightful, but the story line was so inconsistent it often felt as the movie had no pattern. Indeed, it was somewhat of a educational sort (with comedy elements), but I think if the plot and characters were incorporated better, the movie would be more linear and sit better in the mind of the viewer. It seemed as that was not the target of the editing however, and with a mix of plot and what felt as shorts, it didn't come across nicely.

Kill Ben Lyk (2018)

Great introduction. Entertaining to watch. Some Downfalls.

[7/10 · 5 April 2020]

I will say, excellent for what appears to be a lower budget production. With very few scenes to work with, you made a very excellent movie. The plot felt complete, it was entertaining to watch, however, some characters warranted some more development. Particularly the main character, who is revealed as egotistical, but besides that, has not many more character traits. He occupies plenty of screen-time yet he lacks in dimension. Often he is repeating similar behaviors, and not contributing much of anything positive to the story line. This makes the character exhausting, degrading the plot,; however, other characters fill in this void and become much more significant to the plot. In terms of comical value, the comedy is not well placed, it feels repetitive, and hurts the thriller and mystery aspect of this movie. The movie felt casual, not much got my eye, and with very little connection to the characters, the target genre seemed unapparent. Overall, enjoyable? Yes. Memorable? No.
