Ratings and reviews

This movie is absolutely terrible. I think I've lost faith in rotten tomatoes. It's like it wants to be a modern day Big Lebowski but the writers didn't really understand what it takes to make such a movie. I rented this movie with Google play credit I earned doing Google surveys and would have rather used the credit for an in-app purchase for Alpine Legends.

After all that, if you ask me what's likable about the movie? I would be hard pressed to answer that. Not ALL Jokes are that funny (A few are decent most of them, you would just roll your eyes); Most of the dialogues are cheesy and when you reach the climax, well you realize the whole movie was - making a movie and winning some accolades about "that" the movie

Rotten tomatoes rating is 100%? Wow! Unbelievable!!! The reason why I said unbelievable is that this film isn't that good as I've expected. For me, this film seems to be cheap because it seems like it's not taken seriously. That being said, it's still watchable, but it is something that can be considered as it's okay even if you don't watch it.
