Too Late

Ask me and ill eat you too said the standup ever so grumpy old man comedian, after viewing too late, a black comedy full of irony and it will make your ever so smirky smile become eeven more smirky, cause it has its jokes and crannies and some small jolts of 110 volts shock and awe moments, but its all hung up on the basic level, no real hi's or lows, much talk and jismick humour with a bizarre backstory thats told in bits and pieces over a well informed timeline, by seasoned acting crew that does their job.

So its a film that some people wil idolize and analyze due to its freaky nature, but to define it as a cult classic i wont. Its hard to gengrefy and its so darn average that you cant kill joe or bob with a joke of a comedian fed on sleeping pills, so therefore a small recommend, as a time consumer it works, to widen your lungs and lengthen your life i wont guaratee...

Haven't we all had a monster for a boss? Violet deals with hers decisively!

As another reviewer put it, this movie is cute. I watched it for the sole reason that Mary Lynn Rajskub got top billing.... She had perhaps four minutes in this movie, which is sad because she's such a powerhouse of awesomeness.... Everything she is in is better for her being in it. As it was though, this movie is OK. It was hard to care for the characters enough to really care when they were in any danger. On the bright side, I discovered Jenny Zigrino and will be watching more of her work. Fred Armisen was also in it a bit, and really, what isn't Fred Armisen great in?

I think it could have been whittled down a bit and been a third of a horror/comedy anthology movie along the lines of Creepshow or Steven King's Cat's Eye where it could be the center piece book-ended by two better-made films. This isn't a fife or nine star movie like I see other people have rated it, but it's no worse than a solid four stars.

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror comedy "Too Late" here in 2022 by random chance. I had never heard about the movie, but of course I opted to watch it, given it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen. And I must also add that I found the synopsis for the movie to be interesting.

However, this movie fell somewhat short of providing me with much of any great entertainment. Writer Tom Becker just didn't manage to put together a storyline and script that proved all that enjoyable. There simply wasn't enough of anything happening as the movie trotted on at a rather monotonous pace on the screen.

And the character gallery was pretty tame, so not even that did much to lift up the movie. Aside from Bob Devore (played by Ron Lynch), then the character gallery in "Too Late" was pretty mundane, one-dimensional and highly forgettable.

The acting performances in the movie were okay, with the most memorable performance on the screen being Ron Lynch. It was a shame that the actors and actresses didn't have a properly layered script or storyline to work with, or even proper characters to work with, because it was holding them back in their performances.

Visually then you're not in for anything spectacular. The movie is very low key in terms of special effects and visuals.

All in all, "Too Late" came and went without leaving a lasting impression. Yet, I managed to endure it to the end, though I was not really entertained. And believe you me, I am not returning to watch director D. W. Thomas's 2021 movie "Too Late" a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend for fans of the horror comedy genre.

My rating of "Too Late" lands on a generous.

It's cute but for the most part, it is just okay. Might have worked better as tightened-up half-hour episode of a horror anthology series. The cast is good. The gore is silly.
