What the hell!! How can a film be so bad and still get positive reviews! I just don’t get it. The film is touted as a comedy and not even once did I smile, forget laughing! Maybe I don’t get the weird American humor but I think I am fine. I don’t want to get it, if it means actually liking horrible movies like this.
Lawrence works for an advertising agency. He’s not straight enough for his job where he sells testosterone filled ad campaigns to beer companies and he’s not stereotypically gay enough for his boyfriend. One night he gets a call that his father Elijah has died and his last dying wish was for Lawrence to go on a road trip with Kevin, his extremely homophobic half-brother, to bury his ashes. We then witness the two brothers unwillingly take a trip together, all the while encountering weird situations, just for heck of it, in my opinion. Throughout the film, Kevin speaks gay slurs which are not funny at all. That’s pretty much there is to the film.
The acting from the characters is quite alright but its the script that falters big time. This is definitely not my idea of comedy. It’s low budget and very badly directed. Neither the characters, nor their relationship held any of my interest whatsoever. The film fails big time both in terms of storytelling and filmmaking. It suffers through lag and it felt it was just being dragged for no reason whatsoever, just for the purpose of introducing more and more characters, who the makers thought were going to add to the so-called humor of the film.
A highly flawed road trip journey, which was embarrassing to watch and waste your precious time. It’s not even worth writing a proper review here. (1/10)
