The Mimic

Not sure why I watched this but it was largely a waste with an inexperienced writer/director combo - never turns out well - and unknown actors though some sorta famous old actors pay minor roles --> Marilu Henner, Jessica Walter, and Gina Gershon helped keep my interest a bit. But this definitely centers on the odd, can't-shake-you relationship between Tony and Peter aka "the kid" (names revealed late in film) and it's somewhat interesting for 1/2 hr then it gets old and you're like "when's this over?!" The ending has a weak payoff too, confirming your waste of time. Just add it to the Covid-era pile of rubbish out back.

The script consists of nothing but rapid-fire ping pong dialogue that's just stupid and mean without a funny line or idea. A pointless exercise in moviemaking everyone who went along with shooting and finishing this film should be ashamed.

So maybe it was just me but I didn't get it? They first meet in the tea room but they have hung out before (Which we ONLY see pieces of) and we were just suppose to know what the hell they were talking about. The funny parts there were, were shadowed by the confusion and chaos the movie brought. Not worth watching, maybe next time guys.

Don't be fooled by the "high" rating. 4 out of 6 thus far have bothered to give this a rating of 1, because there is no rating for zero. If you don't look at the reviews, you keep waiting to see... (a) OK, is this all there is? (b) Is this ever going to get any better? (c) smart people finally turn this absurd ADD rambling about two male neighbors David and Peter off. Read a book. If you don't have a book, go read the white pages online. Count backwards from 20,000. Look at license plates of cars driving by. Anything is more interesting. Dull beyond belief.

I had more expectations for this movie. I tried to watch it. I could watch max 10 mis. Not funny at all. Such a bad scenario. Thomas Sadoski is a great actor but even his acting wasn't enough for me to rate more. I was gonna give "0" but ratings start from 1 in IMDB.
