This movie hilariously explores the ways in which people end up in a cult. I love the way we explore each cult member's background which are all uniquely quirky and interesting. These multifaceted characters almost had you rooting for cult members at times or laughing at how naive they are. The cinematography is very stylistically interesting and the writing is smartly funny. We buckled over laughing at the plot choices at times, staying on the edge of our seat excited to hear what's next. I could totally see this becoming a cult classic in the future as more people discover it. A great watch while high.
I had low expectations for this movie going in and it blew my socks off. It was AMAZING, IT WAS EVERYTHING A COMEDY IN 2024 SHOULD BE. Laughs throughout, it had a great story, character development, surprises, plot twists, the ood guys come out on top.
To think this movie was dreampt up and made by a comedian and a couple of producers that did short films for $300k A bagel with shmere is $8. What they pulled off is nothing short of incredible. It looked and felt like a real movie, for me and my era, it's up there with grandma's boy, pineapple express, The lowest anyone should rate this film is an 8.5, that's being a harsh critic, rented it on date night and you found out she was banging your best friend, that's a spite score. I was shocked to see some of the ratings for this movie and I think there's a organized effort to try and tank it (not cool at all) one site said 30%, I have to go the other way and while I would rate it an 8.75, now it's a 10. Do your part, watch the movie, it's really funny, and then leave honest reviews with 10's. We won't let this gang of negative Nancies win. We are all we got in this world, we owe Chip, he'd help us out the same. Ten/Ten 10/10.

I'm not sure why this doesn't get better reviews, it's hilarious and refreshingly different. It made me belly laugh several times, and the last two lines of the movie may be the funniest ending out there. It's sort of in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite, an out there concept with hilarious one liners hidden throughout. Yeah it's kinda weird, but that's what makes it great. I've also rewatched a few times, it gets funnier each time and I pick up on jokes that I missed with the first watch. The writers and actors are great, it's believable even though the premise is farfetched. Give it a try if you need a laugh!
Honestly, I found the movie really enjoyable and funny. It's obviously dumb and there are many plot holes if you look for them, but that's not the point.
It's exactly what it's supposed to be. A fun goofy comedy where you can turn your brain off and get some laughs. Brings you back to the early 2000's comedies. We need more movies like this. Hopefully this movie makes enough to warrant working on another one, as well as motivating other comedians to give something like this a shot.
Considering this was Stavros' first go at it, I'm excited to see what he comes up with next!(: I'll definitely be there to support.

It's a low grade goofy movie and if you like Stav you'll like it. I really had no expectations going into this movie but laughed a bit and enjoyed it overall.
It felt like this movie could've benefited from either being a little darker humored or a little sillier because it fell in between often and had an odd tone.
The characters all were entertaining and this probably could've easily been fleshed out more and been a smaller limited series. Stav was pretty good and if you're like me he's the reason you found this movie and are here.
Overall 6/10. But don't let that score mislead you into thinking I didn't like this. It just wasn't perfectly my humor so some things didn't land for me.
