best movie i've ever seen.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Very dark, barely comic, Solid way to use up an hour and a half.
I thought this was going to be a crime comedy. The comedy is nowhere to be found. So let's call it a drama. It fails here too because the story seems so empty for over 90% of the film. At the last it makes an attempt to tie it all together in a dramatic way quite late...to no avail.. It's simply too empty for too long with too little too late. I wonder how this got the nod at all for a production. It is that senseless. No one really delivers a convincing performance here with so little to inspire. A complete mess I'd say with a ridiculous coda to the ending. I want my 90-minutes back.
I wasn't expecting much from this. Netflix and its original movies haven't been great, and on paper the cast was nothing special, but I was surprised by how frequently I laughed.Yes, it had a cliched premise, and you could see the ending coming from a mile away, but it still ended up being entertaining. I actually laughed at Dax Shepard's character and I usually can't stand him. Kurtwood Smith is still comedy gold with the right material. Michelle Mylett I hadn't seen before, but she gave a solid and understated performance as Kate and made me a fan in the process.It's a good Christmas movie. Don't expect too much and you won't be let down.
I only watched this movie because of the awesome cast and they're all really great here. My biggest problem is the tone of the movie. It starts off really good with some great humour, the characters are likable and all and you think this is how the movie will continue until out of nowhere it just goes off the rails and becomes some kind of drama / sort of action movie. It totally destroyed any potential the movie had. If anyone watched Tim Allen's 'Big Trouble' (2002) would know what I'm talking about. That movie is a great comedy and it stays that way from start to finish even though there's guns and action involved. Now this one really missed the target big time, unfortunately. It could've been a great comedy movie with such a great cast but I think they messed up hard, with their ideas all over the place so the movie doesn't know if it's a comedy or a drama or an action flick. Overall, it's watchable as a time waster but not something I would recommend readily for everyone.
