You, Me, and that Mountain Retreat

I'm still watching the movie as I write this, and I'm not really sure I'll be able to sit through the whole thing. There are some very odd scenes, like someone telling a group to settle down when there was no noise, or someone very awkwardly telling their boss they'll have some report on his desk or something. Most of the movie so far has been uncomfortably awkward. I think it's a mix of bad writing and inexperienced actors. There was one scene where in reality a person would speak, but for some reason the guy was silently making awkward gestures instead. That character is extremely odd, though, so I guess it kinda works in a very, very weird way.

I don't know why they decided to say it was set in Lake Tahoe when it very clearly is not. Why not just say that it's set somewhere that looks like where they filmed it?
