Maybe I should have read the synopsis for the 2017 movie "Drink Slay Love" before sitting down to watching it, and I could have saved myself from the suffering of sitting through a movie aimed at a teenage girl audience. But I was lured in by the movie being labeled as a comedy / fantasy / romance. So I must admit that I was expecting quite something else than what "Drink Slay Love" actually turned out to be.
Now, while I was not in the target audience, then of course the movie offered very little entertainment value or enjoyable viewing for me, but I must say that the movie is not actually a bad movie. I just happened not to enjoy it because it fell short of my liking and interest. But for a teenage girl viewer, then I am sure that "Drink Slay Love" would offer an abundance of entertainment, especially if having enjoyed stuff like "Twilight".
The storyline is pretty straight forward and easy to follow, but it was lost on me because of the target audience thing being a swing and a miss.
The effects in the movie were adequate. Keep in mind, though, that this is a Lifetime movie, so you will not be in for a grand display of bedazzling special effects that rival high end Hollywood movies.
It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually fair enough. But again, the characters were aimed at a teenage audience, so there was just little for me to relate to here.
My rating of "Drink Slay Love", despite it falling short of my personal liking and movie preference, lands on a four out of ten stars.
