I had actually never even heard about "The Wrath of Becky" prior to stumbling upon the movie by random chance. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and see what directors Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote had to offer.
The storyline in "The Wrath of Becky" was a rather straightforward storyline, but also a very generic storyline. If you have seen any type of 'revenge' movie, then you know what you get here. The plot is stupidly simply; some guys hurt a woman close to Becky and steal her dog, and then Becky sets out to righten things and get her dog back.
Gee, a stolen dog, now where have we possibly seen that before? John, you want to chime in here?
Writers Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote played it very safe when they wrote the script, because "The Wrath of Becky" utilizes the standard tropes of a revenge movie and doesn't deviate from that blueprint. And that makes the movie a rather predictable one.
However, I will say that "The Wrath of Becky" was watchable for the generic revenge movie that it was, for better or worse. But it most definitely didn't make for a particularly memorable movie experience. Nor is it a movie that has sufficient contents to the storyline to support more than just a single viewing.
What worked out well in favor of the movie was the cast ensemble. They had a good cast ensemble with some interesting choices of actors and actresses. I wasn't familiar with leading actress Lulu Wilson, but she performed well enough, taking into consideration the limitations imposed by a generic script. I haven't seen Seann William Scott in a movie for a very long time, so it was nice to see him on the screen again. And it was also nice to see Courtney Gains on the screen.
My rating of "The Wrath of Becky" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
