    Well...it's better than The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, I guess.

    God, this was so disappointing.

    It had its moments, but it mostly fell flat. I expected so much more. Just ugh.

    Can I ask why you expected more? Not to be an ass or anything, but I might have missed something, because from the trailer all I could think of was why would anyone make this or want to watch it?

    The cast, for one. I liked the cast. The red band trailer gave me hope. Misplaced, yes, but hope nonetheless.

    I'd have to actually read the script to confirm, but a lot of what doesn't work in the movie seems like it might have worked on the page. I've read a few review blurbs that say the same thing; the tone of the film and what's actually happening/being said seem to be completely at odds with each other.

    This is totally accurate. There were many times during the film where I'm like "That should have been funny. why wasn't that funny?" The tone was off for pretty much the entire film. Trying to juxtapose in your face "Adult" humor with tinged with slight darkness is fine. This movie just didn't know how to do it.

    Instead of coming off as edgy, it just felt uncomfortable.

    NO. The plastic surgery she's had on her face is awful.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
