Reboot Camp

Clever premise, well acted, with some very funny moments. There are a few interesting cameos - Ja Rule, Eric Roberts, and Chaz Bono who are all really fun! However, the story was a little slow and it took a little too long to get from funny moment to funny moment. I think this would work really well as a sitcom series rather than a full length feature film. Break it up into 30 minute episodes with each episode focusing on one character's story There are many quirky characters here and a lot of interesting relationships that could be further developed and would sustain a season of sitcom episodes. It was a bit draggy as a feature film, but I recommend repackaging it and redeveloping it as a sitcom series on Netflix or Hulu.

This is as if the losers from Best In Show had mental breakdowns and went to a week long retreat to lick their wounds. And once they got there they encountered half the Spinal Tap crew.

Well, I have to admit that I was expecting a tad more in the laughs department from the 2020 movie titled "Reboot Camp" when I sat down to watch it here in 2021. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it, but I stumbled upon it and found its synopsis to be alluring.

And while "Reboot Camp" is a watchable movie, it was hardly an outstanding movie experience, nor is it a movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time. Why? Well, simply because "Reboot Camp" doesn't have the material in its contents to support more than a single viewing.

"Reboot Camp" is labeled as a comedy, but it is not the type of comedy that brought about much of any laughs, nor even a smile. It is, however, the type of comedy that takes something and pokes fun at it. And yeah, I will say that the storyline told in "Reboot Camp", as written by writer and director Ivo Raza, definitely was interesting and had some very nice aspects to it. But I just feel that the movie failed as a comedy. It was more of a farce in a way.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and they actually managed to get together a good group of actors and actresses to play the characters in the movie. And they also had a good handful of bigger names on the cast list, though just showing up for minor roles.

Ivo Raza managed to make a very unique and distinct movie here with "Reboot Camp". But it just ultimately wasn't a movie that left much of a lasting impression. I found the movie to be watchable for a single viewing. But it is hardly a movie that I would recommend you rush out to find at all costs.

My rating of "Reboot Camp" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

Gotta hand it to Ivo Raza for coming up with a unique take on a timely topic and making it a fun watch!

All you need to start a cult is a foreign accent, a funky wardrobe and a VJJ slide. Oh and a bunch of gullible followers to peddle your BS to. Over the top at moments but I'm a big david Koechner fan so anything with him is a watch. Here he riffs at self help and finds spiritual growth through cursing. OK dude whatever works for ya. The one thing that bugged me were the reality stars. Obnoxious. But I guess that's par for the course..or curse.
