Cursed Friends

Okay so this is a really dumb movie I will admit. It's certainly not going to win any awards but I will have to admit I laughed out loud several times. So just for that I give it higher marks. In particular the guy that plays Andy is hysterical. So over the top. Again this is a really silly movie but sometimes silly is all I want and just to laugh. I definitely would watch again. I didn't realize this was a made for TV movie made by comedy central. It does have a few recognizable stars as well. All in all if you want just a silly movie with a dump plot but want to laugh out loud this is your film. It's not super long either so that is a bonus.

Even as a GenX'er, I thought the Millennial humor was funny. Plot was good and perfect for what I was looking for - something that kept my attention, made me laugh, and helped pass the time. I would definitely watch it again. Some of the humor was cringy, but that was the point. I was kind of hoping the ending would have been different, but oh well. I thought it was well written and well acted. Take it for what it is - a campy quasi-horror comedy. I love the movies during spooky season. This one fits in just fine. Not everyone is going to get this movie. The twists and play on words added a bit of something to the movie. Watch it if you get the chance.

I guess luke warm temp is the best way to describe this. You'll smile or perhaps get a single "ha" from the movie once in awhile but truly not that funny of a movie. The whole thing just fell flat and felt tepid for me. Not a BAD movie, just not very funny or interesting. Think I spent more time scrolling TikTok than watching due to this not holding my attention really. Kind of typical and easy to predict. Cheesy moments that are to be expected. All in all, this is decent background noise but nothing that will captivate you or make your stomach hurt from laughing so hard. You won't be bummed you missed this or not.

Twenty years ago, four kids are given a game for Halloween Trick or Treat. They play it and it predicts their future. It's twenty years later. Erica Greenspan (Jessica Lowe), Mikayla (Nicole Byer), and Andy (Harvey Guillén) are still best of friends. Josh (Andrew Lewis Caldwell) is Erica's annoying brother. Erica finds the game in the basement and the four of them read their childhood predictions. They are coming true but in unexpected ways.

The concept needs some more explaining. It's confused, and that keeps the story from coming together. I normally love many of these comedic actors. Without a cohesive script, they are mostly flailing around here. This one fails at the script stage. I still very much love these actors and that allows me to maintain some interest.

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.
