Movers Ultimate

Auteur Ben Rood (as both Director & Writer) appears to have been aiming for a raunchier version of FRIENDS, but ended up with something more like an edgier version of BREAKFAST CLUB. Nothing can change the fact that this is, and always will be, a low-budget indie. But, within that select niche, it sets a nice pace off the top and maintains it throughout. The leads definitely have "bro" chemistry, the rest of the cast is somewhat less reliable. There are moments -- too many -- when you get the feeling that Rood made this entire project happen just to show off his script. Which, to be fair, is definitely a cut above.

Movers Ultimate is a scrappy indie comedy by writer/director Ben Rood. This slice of life / workplace comedy centers on two best friends working a crap job moving houses with a group of misfits. The cast has believable chemistry and the two leads compliment each other well. Andy J. Carlson (Chad) was the comedic standout in my opinion. His delivery, paired with Rood's raunchy and punchy dialogue, had me laughing throughout.

A fun, light-hearted film that ends up with a few more layers than you might initially think there would be. It's fun watching the pieces of the story come together as the movers work through friendships, shared history and maybe find that age 28 can be a lot more interesting than 18.

After watching the film and reading the reviews, I found this indie to be fantastic for what it is, an independent comedy with a smaller budget than bigger films. Yes it's not perfect, but perfect is not what I was expecting from an indie film. I recommend this film for anyone who's has a real sense of humor.

If you've ever had to use movers, you'll appreciate this - and understand why half your stuff is broken or lost! Decent script, good chemistry and acting between the two male leads (Andy J. Carlson and Shawn Knox). Thought Sé Marie (who played the daughter) did a great job, too. Wanted a better idea of why the one guy was so mad - one line could have told us why he was a jerk and made him either more sympathetic or pathetic! Didn't love the one brother but kid was adorbs. Lots of laughs - definitely a good bro-mance. Not for the kiddos - lots of f-bombs and a few sight gags that would leave you explaining some uncomfortable stuff.
