Gatlopp

If this movie's title caught your attention on your local streaming service, you'll probably like it. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. In fact, I enjoyed this so much, I would watch a sequel!

The story is what the IMDBs says it is, old friends reuniting over a drinking game that may or may not be from hell. Of course, nobody reads the rules, so how were any of them supposed to know that before they started drinking? The acting was good, I enjoyed the cast's chemistry. It was surprisingly good considering the characters seem to have almost nothing in common.

It has some funny, some thrills and something for your feelers. You'll probably like it.

This movie is (in short version) Jumanji on a lower budget. Like way lower! But there in lies the compliment. Because low budget doesn't mean low quality, cause in my honest opinion, it holds the same quality as Jumanji (the original Jumanji, not the video game Jumanji). More or less. The comedy, super funny. The drama, touching. The horror, pretty chilling. The acting, well done. So to me, this movie deserves 7 stars.

Gatlopp Should Stand For Good In Sweden, Because This Movie Is Good!... I Like It Because It's a Truth Or Dare Movie But Done In a Unique Different Way, Matel Or Hasbro Needs a Game Like This So People Can Be Real With Each Other But Certainly Real With Themselves, a Game That Brings Out The Best In People Or The Worst!

As a whole, it's serviceable, has moments that are pretty funny (I'm guessing many didn't fully appreciate the Apolcalypto gag) and an opening about the game that promises some crazy madcap fun. But it doesn't quite get there and the film feels padded for its relatively shorter running time as the characters learn more about themselves.

I wouldn't call this horr at all. It's almost like Jumanji but for relationships and lots of flashbacks to tell a story. This is more of a comedy than anything else, by far, which is also meant to mock LA and the film and TV / entertainment industry, which it does at times. Amusing but nothing extremely standout.

It was clear to me which actor wrote the script because he has virtually all of the best lines and moments. For the most part, the actors deliver reasonably well to sell this low budget film although I felt Jon Bass as annoying and miscast. Perhaps that was the intention but that, and several moments in the film, the script felt like a script and didn't quite flow. A good example of this was the ending. Cute - but the scene leading up to it felt contrived in many ways for the sake of a setup, which was unnecessary. There are these rough moments throughout, including a disjointed dance scene that didn't have enough connection of the dots to be convincing. Still... there is talent in the room.

Overall I liked it, being a strong average low budget film. It's a decent, watchable single view but not one you'd have to see again for the script or the performances. Unlike most of the pandemic straight to video garbage, this was a good effort and not regrettable.

The plot and characters are good; funny moments and cool likable cast. I would definitely recommend on a movie date or even alone good job HBOMax.

It's like jumanji but with real people and real scenarios at least for me.
