I love Rebel Wilson and this film has such a stellar supporting cast, but the script is a stinker with so many plots holes and characters making choices that make no kind of sense... it becomes impossible to suspend disbelief and truly enjoy the film as an over the top action comedy.
You'll find yourself asking "Why would they DO that?" at every single choice everyone makes. That would work if the choices were campy or had some kind of comedic payoff, but they don't.
Why do the villains roll up on a wedding in a fleet of AIRBOATS - arguably the loudest water craft imaginable? Why does a woman shoot a blowdart bullet at another woman in the middle of a dance number, and why would a man who sees it happen find that an impressive and charming reason to hit on her? Because of reasons, I guess.
The whole film is just a contrivance of ideas taken from 100 others, and the mismash it leaves you with is a great background noise moment when you're vaccuming.

As a lifelong fan of Liza I went into this expecting more. It focuses very specifically on the period of her life between the death of her mother and around 1980.
It's really far more about the lives and talents of the many people with whom she surrounded herself and found influence creatively, and I do understand that in many ways that *IS* who she is. However I was hoping for exciting stories and what I got was quite a lot of discussion about how she met and worked with people like Halton, Kander & Ebb etc... and those stories, though beautiful and lovely in their own way, aren't particularly exciting.
The documentary seemed to go to great lengths to steer clear of any in depth discussions about anything that might be controvserial or lascivious, and there is even a moment in the film when Liza denies anyone having ever done drugs at Studio 54, which feels less like naive denial and more like a woman who is bound and determined to maintain as pristine a public image as she can (despite her openness about struggling with addiction.)
What was really shocking was that her deep and longstanding connection with gay men wasn't even *mentioned*. In fact the only time queerness came up was when it was briefly acknowledged that her first husband was gay, which was yet again a topic that might have been interesting to discuss but was breezed past.
There is very little in the way of actual interviews with present-day Liza telling her own stories, and that to me is where the whole project failed the most.
It might have fared better as a 60 minute TV special than a nearly two hour documentary, as after the first hour I actually found myself getting bored.
Liza herself is a *STAR*. The documentary, for me, just isn't.

Verow is known for making extremely low budget movies that rely heavily on explicit (usually not simulated, meaning they are actually having sex on camera) sexuality. These films aren't GOOD, they're often trite and more often than not he is the star as well as writer and director. So you end up seeing quite a lot of Todd Verow having pornographic sex on screen.
"You Can't Stay Here" is his first film that does NOT have unsimulated sex scenes, which is likely because of the fact that he somehow managed to rope in big name stars like Diaz to appear/star. It's a shame because this incredibly boring movie could have used SOMETHING to make it interesting.
The film literally has no perspective, nothing fresh, nothing new going on. The plot has been done to death: closet case gets caught by wife having gay sex, turns to anonymous park sex for thrills, gets caught up in a murder mystery scenario. It's been done before, but so much better.
It's hard to tell if the acting in the film is uniformly terrible because it just is, or because the writing and dialog are so awful, but either way it's very nearly unwatchable. There is nothing suspenseful, thrilling or scary going on for a single second of this movie.
It looks like it was shot on iPhones, and not even the latest model. In that respect it just adds cheapness to the already cheap feeling the entire project elicits.
It's just BAD, from start to finish, and a low point in the ouvre Verow who has already made quite a lot of absolute garbage. Only people who are easily impressed or are trying to kiss the behind of famous people within queer cinema would find merit in this absolute slop.
