Amy's Fucket List

Yo, peep this movie, fam! That flick's got a mad dope message that's straight fire. Amy's "F it list" is like a real talk blueprint for all of us hustlin' in these streets. It's all about throwin' hands at our own fears and livin' in the now, feel me? We stay forgettin' to cherish what we got right this sec, always stuck in the past or dreamin' 'bout the future. Now, let me tell you 'bout the wild ride these two shorties go on. It's like a Thelma and Louise for the modern grind, and the ending? Bruh, that joint hits you with one of the illest surprises in cinema. Straight up, it's a journey that'll have you buggin' from start to finish. Don't sleep on this one-it's a real game-changer in the movie scene!

Basically a revenge fantasy about common society annoyances - people who talk on the phone while in line and not paying attention when it is their turn to order, for example - but the premise and the payoff are both weak. The foes the movie presents are exaggerated, cartoonish and cliche. Another example - a bank might turn down your loan, but not with the contrived cartoony arrogance of the character portrayed here.

The acting, filming, everything, has the aesthetic of the non-sex parts of porn. You could record a high school play on your phone and have a decent chance that it would result in a better movie.

They blatantly steal from the "flair" jokes from Office Space, admit during the movie it is stealing that from Office Space, and then proceed to do nothing more interesting with the bit, they just do a poorer job of presenting the same thing.

I don't even understand other reviews here giving any credit to the acting. It is terrible. The whole thing sucks, the dialog is bad, the acting is bad, the plot is weak and dumb. It's just a handful of annoying behaviors and a person with (ha-ha, I guess?) a terminal illness having a no-holds-barred attitude against them. And everyone clapped.

So, so, dumb, and so poorly executed.

I'm annoyed and depressed having wasted part of my life seeing this. I don't usually write reviews, but I now feel it is my only salvation from this not-even-good-bad garbage. I'm annoyed that Amazon Prime Video even had this in its catalog for me to stupidly stumble into and think that it might be good. I'm depressed that I watched half of it before I started skipping over parts to get to the end, hoping the movie might save itself somehow. No, it is just dumb, it gets more dumb, and then it wraps it up in an unfunny, cringey, awkward, just weird out of nowhere dumb bow.

Save yourself. Stop reading reviews on this movie, run away, don't look back, and never think of this movie again. It is too late for me, but you can still go and live your life. Run.

The two leads were pleasant enough to watch. They have more talent than this movie deserves. Story just never really engaged me. I did hang in & watched til the end hoping for some kind of a positive ending. Did not happen. A few funny scenes, but more cringy ones than entertaining ones. Seems like it got to the end and the writer didn't know how to tie it up with an ending that was plausible, so they threw in a last minute "twist" that made even less sense than the rest of the movie. Seems like too many of these kinds of movies showing up anymore. Guess just about anyone can make a movie now days whether the story makes any sense or not. One last thing. Most of the actors in this cannot act at all and the writer must think that the use of the big "F" word makes their acting better. It doesn't.

So many ridiculous things in this movie, like after collapsing while at work for a super discount store, getting a phone call saying you have glioblastoma with less than a week to live. Having had a coworker come in with that same diagnosis, stage 4 glioblastoma, live those last days with a what worse can happen attitude. From taking a baseball bat to the truck of a guy who cut her off, to smashing the phone of a lady always delaying the coffee shop line, living the life with no cares. It is so stupid at times is a movie that had me wondering what crazy thing will they come up with next. The shocking end is a reason to keep watching to the end.

So here's the concept. A 25-yr-old lady working as a dollar store employee has an episode at work, she sees a doctor, she gets the bad news. She has a brain tumor, a Glioblastoma, and she will die in three days. (In reality the condition is NOT that deadly for an otherwise healthy person.) So she decides, with the encouragement of her sister, to make her F-it list (rhymes with bucket list). But the first five are trivial things, like the people who use the phone when in line, or mistaken fast food orders, or the people who bring 20 items to the 5 item line, or misbehavior at the school drop off lane. And she eats cake and ice cream for breakfast instead of healthier oatmeal.

Number six on her list is a big one but we have no hint of it until, literally, the last minute of the movie. Most of the movie seems to just be killing time, like the several slow conversations with her sister, or between her pregnant sister and her husband.

The actresses who play the two sisters are very capable, Alyson Gorske as the dying girl, Amy Taylor. And Angel Prater as her pregnant sister, Mary Taylor. The plot also contains a scheme to get back $300,000 that they considered "stolen" from them by a businessman. But truthfully, the script is awful, sophomoric, several scenes are played out in a cartoonish manner.

No, not a good movie at all. Filmed in the year 2000 during COVID time, much of it in Sacramento and nearby cities. I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime.
