Reboot Camp

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

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.

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.

It explains all human weakness via this movie. It's quite funny to watch indeed. Thought it's a documentary but it's not. But wonder how the people in the movie is actor or real, very suspicious.

I stumbled across the trailer to this on my friend's Facebook page. The trailer was funny and the rental was only $4 so I decided to rent it. Reboot Camp was not what I expected. It's a mockumentary. I DO NOT like mockumentaries. Had I read the post after watching the trailer, I would've known and would not have rented it. That being said, it was not bad at all. I found myself laughing a lot. Ed Begley Jr. From Bless This Mess and Lindsey Shaw from Pretty Little Liars really stood out. Begley's deadpan face cracked me up every time he was on the screen and Shaw's portrayal of ditzy Maisey was spot on. I give this movie 7 1/2 stars because I just don't like mockumentaries but there are no half stars so I'm rounding up to 8. There are enough trolls out there giving movies 1 star for no reason at all.
