As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
As a huge fan of What We Do in the Shadows, Girl-Buddy movies and NZ comedy in general I thought I'd love this film. However, I did not. I only lasted 35 minutes, the comedy relied on lazy shock factor jokes rather than well-crafted wit. Lazy, unfunny, just awful.
They won amateur pub night and were given a film contractAfter the opening sequence you knew this had no where to go. The gag had been done. All that was left was to be hit over the head repeatedly with crudeness and vulgarity which was not funny.It was embarrassing to watch. Gross humour_can_be funny. This was not. They should have had someone other than friends and drunks at the pub to read the script. Anyone with an IQ over 35 would have asked what is the story and advise them that this was simply not funny.We made it as far as the karaoke scene on the bus. Even Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan and the Movie 42 writers would not be able to watch this. .These amateurs were not funny. Maybe the skits they do on some late night Kiwi comedy show were, but this hurt. I mean_physically_ hurt to watch. Avoid at all costs
God help us if this ghastly movie ever goes international because the NZ Tourist Industry could very well regenerate into depression if it does. The NZ Film Commission need their heads read for putting out pornographic, sexy, foul language rubbish like this which shows our entire culture in such a misrepresented way. The trailer is a pack of lies because it only shows the funniest bits with hardly a single swear word and none of the sexy porno stuff. This man will be hard pressed to go to anything with the cast in it in future.
Trailer looked promising, story line is terrible, lame jokes, not great writing.
