Cursed Friends

1) This has nothing to do with horror. It is a comedy movie. And it works, at least for me, i laughed a lot watching it. Maybe middle aged people won't find it as funny as i did. I am 44 years old and i think that there are many hilarious moments here. This is a 20's movie, capturing 20's Zeitgeist.

2) Every character here is likeable. Every actor does a good job. I am sure that many people will dismiss this movie as "woke". In my opinion, there is only one agenda/goal here, and that is to make you laugh. Usually, I dislike movies with political messages, especially when they are shoving them down my throat. I watched movies in order to entertain myself, mainly. And that's what i got by watching this.

3) Having said that, this is an underrated comedy. 4,8/10 is not a fair rating. It's certainly not a great movie, it is deliberately dumb, naive, ridiculous sometimes and there is nothing brilliant or new here, but these are difficult times for comedy movies. Not many comedy movies are being created nowadays. And those which are created, ain't much funny, i would say more bitter/cynical than funny. This is a pure comedy movie and i wish more of them to be produced.

I thought I'd give it a go and has been on my tv planner since October. As soon as it starts you know it's not going to be great, it is made for tv but its just not funny at all. None of the jokes land, the characters are all extremely annoying and over the top. We managed to watch 30mins before we we lost interest in it. It's a good idea but poorly executed, don't waste your time on this if you are over the age of twelve, I'm in my early forties and didn't find anything worth sticking around for, and at 50 or so minutes we ended just turning it off. It's a shame as I don't mind some of the actors in it, just not in this.

This film is pretty decent. Usually a lot of horror comedy movies dont work well. This one made for comedy central however is pretty good. It got some laughs out of me here and there. Maybe not overlly funny. But it didn't need to be really because the film was still interesting and entertaining. A group of friends play mash and many years later it starts to come to life after a series of strange events. They are erica, mikayla, andy and josh. Played by jessica lowe,nicole byer,harvey guillen and andrew lewis caldwell. All of which I thought were great and worked well for a bunch of fridnds with their quirks and whatnot. There are also special appearences by rob riggle, will arnett and joey fatone as himself. Overall it is a pretty good film that is fun, not a lot of horror but it was overall enjoyable.

I'm almost the target demographic (but not quite) so I appreciated some of the jokes and laughed out loud a few times. I remember MASH etc.

On the other hand, this is definitely geared towards a kind of immature demographic, even as a fun comedy for Millennials. There were a lot of fart jokes and sex jokes that aren't that funny and just come across as either lame or gross to me as an adult. Were they picturing Millennial parents watching this with their adolescent kids? If so why were there also so many references to porn and masturbation?

Harvey Guillen consistently stole the show for me as the gay wanna-be-influencer lying about his age to get Gen Z clients and followers. I also thought adding Nicole Richie was a nice touch. I kept waiting for Paris Hilton to make a cameo appearance, but instead there was just way too much NSYNC.

I had not heard about this 2022 TV movie comedy titled "Cursed Friends" from writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg prior to sitting down to watch it here late in 2022. So I wasn't sure what I was in for, aside from it being a comedy.

And with the cast ensemble that was in the movie, I figured that director Laura Murphy's movie would be a funny one. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch "Cursed Friends" without ever having heard about it.

The storyline in the movie was sort of mundane and bland, and I have to say that I was only mildly entertained by what writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg managed to dish out here. And while I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch it a second time. Nor is it a movie that is going to become a Halloween classic.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, and they definitely had a good ensemble of actors and actresses in the movie. Just a shame that the script and storyline was sort of limited.

I must admit that I was expecting a lot more comedy from the movie "Cursed Friends", especially since it aired on Comedy Central.

My rating of "Cursed Friends" lands on a four out of ten stars.
