Cursed Friends

This film is pretty decent. Usually a lot of horror comedy movies dont work well. This one made for comedy central however is pretty good. It got some laughs out of me here and there. Maybe not overlly funny. But it didn't need to be really because the film was still interesting and entertaining. A group of friends play mash and many years later it starts to come to life after a series of strange events. They are erica, mikayla, andy and josh. Played by jessica lowe,nicole byer,harvey guillen and andrew lewis caldwell. All of which I thought were great and worked well for a bunch of fridnds with their quirks and whatnot. There are also special appearences by rob riggle, will arnett and joey fatone as himself. Overall it is a pretty good film that is fun, not a lot of horror but it was overall enjoyable.

It's not a great film, but if you want a campy, fast paced 'get away' film then it fits the bill. Many of the characters are outrageous stereotypes (villains, heroes, gays), but it's not offensive at all. It's just silly humour (it's not really horror at all). The pace is a little too frantic throughout without any slowing down, which is a distraction. But it obviously wasn't intended to be anything other than ridiculous low brow humour.

It's also somewhat generational, as someone mentioned. The multiple references using some aspects of social media presented as jokes sometimes left us shaking our heads and going "What are they meaning?" But in the end, who cares?

I had not heard about this 2022 TV movie comedy titled "Cursed Friends" from writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg prior to sitting down to watch it here late in 2022. So I wasn't sure what I was in for, aside from it being a comedy.

And with the cast ensemble that was in the movie, I figured that director Laura Murphy's movie would be a funny one. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch "Cursed Friends" without ever having heard about it.

The storyline in the movie was sort of mundane and bland, and I have to say that I was only mildly entertained by what writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg managed to dish out here. And while I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch it a second time. Nor is it a movie that is going to become a Halloween classic.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, and they definitely had a good ensemble of actors and actresses in the movie. Just a shame that the script and storyline was sort of limited.

I must admit that I was expecting a lot more comedy from the movie "Cursed Friends", especially since it aired on Comedy Central.

My rating of "Cursed Friends" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Thanks to Comedy Central for making TV movies catered to the millennial generation! Is it an award winning, perfect movie? No. Is it fun, relatable and will make you cry laughing at times - YES!

I can't count how many times I fell over laughing at some of the references and awkward moments. The cast was great - love the cameos from a few stunnas and especially LOVED Andy's character (if you watch What We Do in the Shadows - he also excels in this).

I played MASH many times as a child - glad to see a fun, silly, relatable movie to break thru some of the horror stuff during spooky season.

If you are a millennial and a) liked *NSYNC b) played MASH with your friends and c) already feel old vs Gen Z you will love this. Give it a watch!

Twenty years ago, four kids are given a game for Halloween Trick or Treat. They play it and it predicts their future. It's twenty years later. Erica Greenspan (Jessica Lowe), Mikayla (Nicole Byer), and Andy (Harvey Guillén) are still best of friends. Josh (Andrew Lewis Caldwell) is Erica's annoying brother. Erica finds the game in the basement and the four of them read their childhood predictions. They are coming true but in unexpected ways.

The concept needs some more explaining. It's confused, and that keeps the story from coming together. I normally love many of these comedic actors. Without a cohesive script, they are mostly flailing around here. This one fails at the script stage. I still very much love these actors and that allows me to maintain some interest.
