COULD HAD BEEN A CULT COMEDY, FAILS COMPLETELY.


I was looking forward for the little indie comedy, much as a answer to the horrible and overpriced Ghostbusters 2016. The film itself have some good moments ( loved the edit of the "timelapse" of Louis (Jon Heder) boring working week ) and does manage to make some creepy moments ( the paranormal activity style recordings ) but they soon end. The story is way too stupid even for a comedy, characters are completely clueless, no way a gang of meth producers could behave and be as dangerous as kindergarden children, even being complete meth addicts. And no one seems to get whats happening a few meters away. Jon Heder can´t perform as a likeable character because is hard to imagine him as something more than the Napoleon Dynamite moron and Justin Long is completely underused. Seems the production even created the yellow "sweat" Ghost Team tshirts with the cult status in mind ( remember "Vote for Pedro"? ) but this comedy won´t ever become a cult classic because is completely forgetable.
