Cocktails with Nick and Lana

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.

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.

I was convinced to watch this movie by the high ratings on here. I'm not sure who the people are who found the movie to be so enthralling, because I found the movie to be totally cringe-worthy. The two main characters aren't very likeable or convincing. They are not very good actors. The movie starts out with the couple talking to the camera - or at least to webcams as they stream themselves sitting in their living room. It's awkward. I definitely don't recommend paying to view this movie - at the very least wait until the movie shows up for free on one of your streaming services. Even then, I recommend taking a pass.

Hideously amateurish rip off of Only Murders in the Building.

A Hollywood writer out of work for over a year and his actress wife ... also unemployed --- live in a high-rise condo. They hit upon the idea of live streaming their time in their living room (she calls it a lounge) so they can make some money. Luckily, a neighbor on their floor gets shot dead so they decide to invite each neighbor over for cocktails so they can question them about the killing. Of course each neighbor is a bizarro eccentric so each one can seem a potential killer. I never heard of any of these actors. The leading man looks about 45 but claims to be 29 .... How LA!

To add insult to injury, the film is dedicated to Nick and Nora Charles.

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.
