Cocktails with Nick and Lana

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS MOVIE. It is SO bad. My husband and I saw it had decent reviews, so we rented it, and our jaws were dropping at how terrible the acting was. I couldn't help me crack up laughing at how bad it was. We seriously thought it was intentionally bad acting for humor's sake, but we quickly realized it was, in fact, not a joke. I am so confused how this got produced. We were hoping that the neighbors would be better actors, but surprise surprise, just as terrible. We ended up skipping to the end just to see who did it and even that was a terrible story line. I have never left a bad review in my life, but this was just utterly horrible that I had to for the good of humanity.

I swear Ashton Kutcher must be waiting to pop out because we're being Punk'd, right? This movie is so very bad. Holy cow, how did this even get made? And hellooo? Who the heck posted all these great reviews? People who worked on the film? I thought this was going to be a fun whodunnit....pffft, not in this universe. Yes, we are told someone was murdered. That's about the extent of it. The writing is atrocious as is the acting. The characters are unlikeable and have zero chemistry. Even the neighbors are terrible. The main couple just drink & get high during the entire movie. No wonder they can't get jobs. My recommendation is to SKIP this mess.

I wasted my $3.99 on this TERRIBLE TERRIBLE movie . Can't believe IMBD giving it 9.5! The worst movie I ever saw in my life!

The script was terrible, no one could act, it was sooo slow! The suspense was useless, killer was clear in the beginning. I just feel cheated by IMBD rating that led me to rent this movie on YouTube. They could have finished the whole "story" in 20 mins which was stretched to 1.28 hour. A podcast of a bear in hibernation would be more interesting than this. Somehow I was waiting that the bear would stir and something would happen, Alas! I was wrong. That's 1.28 hours of my life I am not getting back.

So imagine that you and your neighbors are in an acting class... for fun, and you all decide to make a movie... for fun. That's what this seemed like to me. The acting is pretty bad. All of it. I don't think they're was one good actor in the entire movie. Which is usually the fault of the director. A good director can get a decent performance out of a halfway decent actor. It is possible that these actors are just terrible though. I kept waiting for it to get interesting but it never did. It was just a disappointment. Good movies are few and far between these days. This ain't one of em. Find something else.

The high rating reviews are highly suspect, particularly with their generic praise. Bots? Paid for? Who knows? But, it's hard to believe anyone but family and paid reviewers could express enthusiasm for this mess.

There isn't an ounce of talent within 19 miles of this mess. It seems like a project made for a Community College acting class, at best. From writing, to directing to acting, and all other aspects of this waste of time, I can't believe anyone involved would want this on their résumé.

The premise looked interesting enough to watch for free on Hoopla, but it took less than 2 minutes to get a little angry at the waste of my time. I fast-forwarded to glance at a couple other scenes, and saw and heard the same effect on film as drinking sour milk.

We can only hope that everyone involved with this mess has moved on to other career aspirations, cuz making movies ain't it.
