Cursed Friends

Thanks to Comedy Central for making TV movies catered to the millennial generation! Is it an award winning, perfect movie? No. Is it fun, relatable and will make you cry laughing at times - YES!

I can't count how many times I fell over laughing at some of the references and awkward moments. The cast was great - love the cameos from a few stunnas and especially LOVED Andy's character (if you watch What We Do in the Shadows - he also excels in this).

I played MASH many times as a child - glad to see a fun, silly, relatable movie to break thru some of the horror stuff during spooky season.

If you are a millennial and a) liked *NSYNC b) played MASH with your friends and c) already feel old vs Gen Z you will love this. Give it a watch!

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?

Even as a GenX'er, I thought the Millennial humor was funny. Plot was good and perfect for what I was looking for - something that kept my attention, made me laugh, and helped pass the time. I would definitely watch it again. Some of the humor was cringy, but that was the point. I was kind of hoping the ending would have been different, but oh well. I thought it was well written and well acted. Take it for what it is - a campy quasi-horror comedy. I love the movies during spooky season. This one fits in just fine. Not everyone is going to get this movie. The twists and play on words added a bit of something to the movie. Watch it if you get the chance.

I had not heard about this 2022 TV movie comedy titled "Cursed Friends" from writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg prior to sitting down to watch it here late in 2022. So I wasn't sure what I was in for, aside from it being a comedy.

And with the cast ensemble that was in the movie, I figured that director Laura Murphy's movie would be a funny one. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch "Cursed Friends" without ever having heard about it.

The storyline in the movie was sort of mundane and bland, and I have to say that I was only mildly entertained by what writers Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg managed to dish out here. And while I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch it a second time. Nor is it a movie that is going to become a Halloween classic.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, and they definitely had a good ensemble of actors and actresses in the movie. Just a shame that the script and storyline was sort of limited.

I must admit that I was expecting a lot more comedy from the movie "Cursed Friends", especially since it aired on Comedy Central.

My rating of "Cursed Friends" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I'm almost the target demographic (but not quite) so I appreciated some of the jokes and laughed out loud a few times. I remember MASH etc.

On the other hand, this is definitely geared towards a kind of immature demographic, even as a fun comedy for Millennials. There were a lot of fart jokes and sex jokes that aren't that funny and just come across as either lame or gross to me as an adult. Were they picturing Millennial parents watching this with their adolescent kids? If so why were there also so many references to porn and masturbation?

Harvey Guillen consistently stole the show for me as the gay wanna-be-influencer lying about his age to get Gen Z clients and followers. I also thought adding Nicole Richie was a nice touch. I kept waiting for Paris Hilton to make a cameo appearance, but instead there was just way too much NSYNC.
