Life of Belle

Where do I even begin with this mess of a movie? Do I start with the ridiculous plot, the horrendous and laughable acting or the embarrassing special effects? It's all so bad, I struggled to find even one redeemable quality in this movie and I really can't. For the life of me, I don't understand why people with no talent decide to make found-cottage films. If you look at my review history, you'll find that FF is one of my favorite genres and the one I'm most critical of because so many people just outright fail at making them. This movie is not only one of the worst FF films I've ever seen, but I can't think of a single one that's even worse than this.

The story is barebones and poorly presented, so it's not even worth mentioning. What is worth addressing is the poor excuse for acting from the entire cast; there were 4 people in this movie and each one was worse than the last in every way. The father delivered his lines in a monotone that displayed no emotion, the daughter read her lines poorly and laughed during the serious moments, the son was forgettable, and the worst offender, the mother. I've rarely seen acting this bad in a FF movie but this person really takes the cake. Lines delivered poorly, with no acting ability of talent. It was like watching someone's audition video for a community college production. Truly dreadful. Every time she opened her mouth I visibly cringed, she delivered her lines with all the aplomb of someone who has never acted a day in her life.

The acting was bad, but nothing was worse than the absolutely horrible SFX. In a world where talented and capable SFX artists can be found everywhere from YouTube to TikTok, why on earth would you skimp out on one? Why even bother using special effects if it's going to be this bad? I am ashamed for the people taking credit for this. It really was a hack job and I shudder to think what else they've worked on.

I'm giving this movie 3 stars because I watched it until the end, and only because it was a little over an hour. That's literally it. It doesn't deserve a single more. It was dreadful, the acting was comical at best, and everything about it just left a really bad impression on me. I'll be keeping a careful eye on the people responsible for this so that I avoid every future movie by everyone involved. I have high standards for FF and this is beyond bottom of the barrel, this is insulting,

Do not waste your time on reading the high reviews by obvious friends and family. I'm neither, and I am also HONEST, and this movie was bad and will be a waste of your time. Do not be dumb enough to watch it like I was.
