This story significantly misses the mark, presenting a disjointed narrative with a glaring lack of depth and originality. Pre declaring that the characters are all idiots, is a cheap trick to cover up the lack of creativity in writing humour.
Characters and events feel unrealistic and unengaging, burdened by clichéd attempts to attract viewers through outdated movie elements and insensible humor. The direction lacks vision and insight, with a clear overestimation of skills and an underestimation of the audience's intelligence.
Casting appears careless, and there's little to no evidence of professional growth in storytelling or technique. Actors fail to convincingly inhabit their roles, delivering performances that lean towards overacting rather than authenticity.
The musical score is forgettable, contributing little to the atmosphere or emotional landscape of the story. Technical aspects like camera work and editing are mediocre at best, failing to respect the audience's time with their lack of precision and slow pacing.
Overall, the production offers no valuable societal message, indulges in problematic humor, and lacks any form of grace or rewatchability. The only minor plus is the story's locations, which are overshadowed by the overwhelming negatives, including a reliance on local flavor that does little to mask the story's fundamental deficiencies.
I feel sorry for those who award perfect scores to such subpar efforts. My scoring rubric is given below for reference.
1 - Dismal, Unwatchable, Tedious - fails in nearly every aspect, offering no redeeming qualities.
2 - Flawed, Boring, Uninspired - has significant issues, lacking engaging content or creativity.
3 - Weak, Forgettable, Lackluster - more negatives than positives, failing to make a lasting impression.
4 - Mediocre, Unremarkable, Plain - Average in every way, neither particularly bad nor good.
5 - Adequate, Passable, Ordinary - An average work that meets basic expectations but doesn't exceed them.
6 - Fair, Decent, Satisfactory - A slightly above-average work that shows some positive elements.
7 - Good, Enjoyable, Solid - A well-made work that is enjoyable and competently crafted.
8 - Great, Impressive, Engaging - An excellent work that stands out due to its quality, creativity, or entertainment value.
9 - Superb, Exceptional, Captivating - Near perfection, with outstanding qualities that leave a lasting impact.
10 - Masterpiece, Revolutionary, Phenomenal - Represents the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, setting new standards and offering an exceptional experience.
