Let's Start a Cult

Comedy movies are in a sad state and Let's Start A Cult is a breath of fresh air. It's not at the level of a lot of great comedies but Stavy carries this film and 90% of it is quite good. There are a few scenes where the acting is pretty questionable and a few pieces of the story could have been fleshed out a bit better but overall it really highlights the strength of Stavros as an actor and his ability to carry with his personality. There are very few movies I'd just throw on and rewatch after seeing them and this is one of them. I'd love to see more from this group and hope it made enough money to justify it.

It's a low grade goofy movie and if you like Stav you'll like it. I really had no expectations going into this movie but laughed a bit and enjoyed it overall.

It felt like this movie could've benefited from either being a little darker humored or a little sillier because it fell in between often and had an odd tone.

The characters all were entertaining and this probably could've easily been fleshed out more and been a smaller limited series. Stav was pretty good and if you're like me he's the reason you found this movie and are here.

Overall 6/10. But don't let that score mislead you into thinking I didn't like this. It just wasn't perfectly my humor so some things didn't land for me.

This movie hilariously explores the ways in which people end up in a cult. I love the way we explore each cult member's background which are all uniquely quirky and interesting. These multifaceted characters almost had you rooting for cult members at times or laughing at how naive they are. The cinematography is very stylistically interesting and the writing is smartly funny. We buckled over laughing at the plot choices at times, staying on the edge of our seat excited to hear what's next. I could totally see this becoming a cult classic in the future as more people discover it. A great watch while high.

Movie was made on a shoestring budget but I got more laughs out if it than any new comedies on Netflix. Stavi is hilarious in his debut role. He is closer to John Belushi than any actor I have seen, meaning he can play the obnoxious yet loveable character that many can't pull off. Well worth the $5 on Amazon and I hope it leads to more roles in comedies that we desperately need. Stavi plays a loveable loser in a doomsday cult who is always in trouble with the cult leader. He leaves the cult to go back home to live with his parents but is disillusioned with a 9 to 5 life and decides to start a new cult of his own. Simple plot, lots of laughs.

Big fan of Stav's famous podcast, Crumbtown, where Madam is a gay bug, Brick is a Chinese man with a small benis, and Stav is the fattest man in the world. I'm watching the movie now and there are a ton of laughs. The laughs represent the approximate weight of Stavros.

The jokes are funny. Some of the scenes are absolutely looney. The writing ... Tells a story. The acting... Is done. Stav isn't the best actor, but he's one of the best in this movie. Some of the cameos or supporting roles were a very nice surprise. Ethan Supplee, for example, could be arguably the Stavros prototype. If Stav was born 10 or 15 years earlier, he might have also kickstarted a respectable acting/comedy career with Jay and Silent Bob.

It was a funny movie that I'd love to watch again.
