I had a hard time making it all the way through this movie. I usually like these kinds of films and I understand their limitations going into it.
While I understand how hard it is to keep audiences engaged when there are few sets, few characters, etc., this movie doesn't really suffer from those things. It just doesn't have a story that merits a full length movie.
The vast majority of the film is spent filling time and really doesn't add to the plot, answer any questions, add intrigue, or contribute to any other desirable outcome. It really just belabors the same point.
You know those jokes that are too long and that's part of the cringe of it? The joke teller delights in having your attention. This film starts to delve into that territory for me.
This could have worked as a short, but it gets tedious in this format. Very tedious. It had promise, but just not enough interest.
6 stars for decent, albeit over-dramatic performances. Decent use of budget. 4 stars for entertainment value.
