The Weekend

Stand-up comedian Zadie (Sasheer Zamata) travels to her parents rural Bed & Breakfast where her ex-boyfriend Bradford (Tone Bell) will be there with his girlfriend of two years Margo (DeWanda Wise). They'll be joined by a guest at the hotel Aubrey (Y'lan Noel), who has just learned his long time live-in partner has broken up with him.

Thus, the movie, written and directed by Stella Meghie, will focus on the interpersonal relations between the guests over one weekend. Unfortunately, I just found the dialogue here to be awkward, strained, and, at times, mean-spirited and I was not able to connect with most of the characters.

Overall, the actors here all have good screen presence and I liked the eclectic soundtrack, but, for me, it was just not very entertaining.

There comedy was well written and crafty. The acting was definitely on par. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In my opinion, this movie was just ok. I really didn't understand the purpose of Zadie bringing/inviting her ex-boyfriend to the family's house (bed and breakfast). Zadie acted like a weird, immature child....which is very confusing. I'm not sure what was going on. Acting was mediocre at best. Just trash

Yhaha yhaa yhaa not really, this film doesn't cut it at all. The characters did their part but the script is dull.

Watching this movie feels uncomfortable. The characters don't seem to have a genuine connection to one another and the story lines of each character don't seem to be well developed on screen. Most scenes are very predictable and while viewers can accurately guess what's to come, it plays out in a way that is like watching green actors read a script in front of a camera, which is unfortunate because these are good actors who've produced good work in other shows and movies. It's a mix of over acting for what the scene calls for, unrealistic and underwhelming dialogue, and poor plot development.
