Welcome to Karastan

This movie can not decide what it wants to be - a cheap knock-off of "The interview", a romantic comedy or a social commentary on the ignorance of a young desperate director. Sadly it fails at everyone of these aspects in its own cringe-inducing way, though there are some cheap laughs to be had which sadly turn sour about mid-way through the film. The actors felt miscast, their performances forced and the camera and set-work was loveless to put it politely (an no, it does not feel intended). Once the end-credits roll you can't help but think that Mr Hopkins involuntarily filmed his own biography. Bottom-line: Save yourself the admission - by the time the movie was finally over even the few people who had not left the cinema early were sighing in collective relief.
