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.

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.

It's not a great film, but if you want a campy, fast paced 'get away' film then it fits the bill. Many of the characters are outrageous stereotypes (villains, heroes, gays), but it's not offensive at all. It's just silly humour (it's not really horror at all). The pace is a little too frantic throughout without any slowing down, which is a distraction. But it obviously wasn't intended to be anything other than ridiculous low brow humour.

It's also somewhat generational, as someone mentioned. The multiple references using some aspects of social media presented as jokes sometimes left us shaking our heads and going "What are they meaning?" But in the end, who cares?

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.
