    Comedy of Errors with a Point

    I'm not sure where all those one-star ratings come from. This is an entertaining comedy of errors with an important premise. It has its flaws, but it's well-handled and well worth a little forgiveness. The acting is mostly competent, if not for the male lead. The production value is right up there, and the screenplay does a good job of carrying a number of different approaches to its political premise. I hope the director keeps evolving. I'll certainly watch more from him if he keeps churning them out.

    My expectations were low given the ratings, but it's definitely not worthy of those one-star reviews.

    Just don't waste your time watching this!

    Seriously, don't spend your time on this movie!

    Boring, pointless, poor writing, bad ending, and filled with hate! Even if you skip the most of the movie, you won't miss a thing! Literally a lot of nothing!

    The story telling was poor and tedious! You need to force yourself to focus and listen to the rest of the conversation in every single conversation after the first few sentences! It gets aimless and dull, and you just don't care; it's not even that much related to the story! None of the characters are interesting! Also, the acting is not that good! So, it's not much to this movie! Just save yourself some time!!!

    The title was dead right

    Its a movie that made me think seriously to sue the responsible people of making this movie happen for wasting my worthless time, im sad and disgusted by how the movie was made, they tried everything and they failed at literally all of them. The story telling was mushed, scattered and randomised, its lile inwas watching clips of a regular movie. And dont even think of a proper plot in it. If i hired 3 Mexican construction workers, they would've done a better job ay writing a better movie. Im giving it 2 just cuz the beginning of the movie was promising, but then everything spiralled, downward. It hit rock-bottom and kept on going down. Some lies that my alcoholic friend tells me are more interesting than this movie. I just wish that never watched it, i want my time back.

    Unrealistic and ridiculous

    This was a heaping pile of stereotypical nonsense that promotes hate and prejudice.

    The movie pretends to portray sophistication and refined class, but devolves to socioeconomic emotional ignorance, driven by the writers bias and bigoted viewpoint.

    Watching this movie was just a painful journey of nothingness, really a lot of nothing!

    They would have been best suited to portray the wife as bipolar off her meds or some other thing to justify the irrational illogical behavior, but the writing pushed a terrible agenda.

    The irony is that the fact the main house is like a mansion, and the next door neighbors house is a shack complete with half eaten food on plates laying around, beer bottles strewn about, late notices lying all around, a laptop open and queued to play porn, and a smoke detector that needed a battery.

    Again it just added to the far-fetched fantasy of ridiculousness this movie is.

    Steer clear of this hate provoking garbage!

    Worst movie of all time

    This movie was the worst thing to reach cinema or even make it out of production. I think this movie would have been better if they had killed the "antagonist" in the beginning. This movie had no point. There was no meaning to the man's death and if anything his death and the movie was told the wrong way and the worst way. AI could do better heck even a child just scribbling could have done better. This movie like this director and production meant nothing. I'm glad the actors and staff were paid because I wish I was. Watching this movie was like breaking a bone and a doctor saying let's break it again because we messed up. While watching this movie I had a nail removed from my foot and honesty I would rather the nail get put back into my foot so that no one has to watch this total waste of time and thought. The only good point about this movie is that I know when I see the director or producers name I know any future movies by them will just be a waste of time and hard earned money.
