just watched it on netflix and wow


the movie is very low budget and it really shows but even so the script is so good its impossible not to enjoy. i hope the writers get a shot at making another movie or maybe even remaking this one with a bigger budget. i really liked the final scene very satisfying and not what i expected.

"the script is so good its impossible not to enjoy"

Huh? The script is moronically unoriginal.
This seems to be a moronic movie made for morons. Nothing more.
Of course a lot of morons will find it to be spectacular... 'cause after all, it was made for a specific target audience: people with a IQ near Zero, who can't use more than 2% of their braincells.

I have to agree. This was a horrible film. The chick who played Erica was painful to watch and the acting was pretty terrible all around.

Yeah seriously, what kind of curve are you grading on tanktrash? This movie is beyond dumb, and makes "boring" look like a day at the circus. So, I'm guessing this is the OTHER movie you've seen in your entire life. The first being The Animal, starring Rob Shneider. I guess in the context of having seen only those two movies, this one is...well... arguably better.

Dorks still argue on the internet? Wow.

I like how anonymous strangers on the internet think they will change the mind of other anonymous strangers. Seriously, when is the last time a complete stranger convinced you to stop liking something you liked?

Don't get carried away. The first five seconds revealed it's a low budget movie and then I adjust my expectations. It was an ok movie (great seeing the budget/final result), but still. I usually don't care much about the budget, I just like to enjoy the movie.
Several times I thought parts were funny, at other moments it was just waiting till something nice happend.
Ok movie, nothing too fancy. Not a "wow" movie, but neither a big pile of *beep* no fly would even come around.

I just randomly chose to check this out on Netflix instant, and I actually liked it quite a bit. Of course you have to adjust your expectations when facing budgetary constraints. But all in this movie is pretty damn enjoyable.
