Right, well as I sat down to watch the 2022 drama titled "Lot Lizards" from writer Andrea Parker and director Robert L. Parker III, I have to admit that I didn't know what I was in for. Had I heard about the movie prior to watching it? Nope, not even the slightest word. But I have to say that I wasn't really expecting this movie to be a grand cinematic experience.
Still, I opted to watch it, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance. But this movie was a swing and a miss. Actually, strike that. The ball never even made it to the playing field. This movie is right up there among the top five of horrible movies I have stumbled upon in my many years of watching movies.
The storyline is immature and felt like it was just made up on the spot as they were shooting the movie. So there wasn't really anything great to be viewed here. It was rubbish and amateurish at best. And the narrative of the storyline was so mind-boggling slow that it was painful to sit through. Running at nearly two hours, this movie was a struggle to sit through. I managed to endure 41 minutes of slow, agonizing torture, then I just couldn't take anymore and had to end the movie.
I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. And that is usually something I enjoy in movies. But if I have to be honest, then I wasn't enjoying it in "Lot Lizards". Why? Well, because the acting performances resembled something like fish flapping about out of water. It was painful to witness.
The character gallery in "Lot Lizards" was just downright laughable. Talk about having generic and stereotypical characters. And the dialogue that writer Andrea Parker managed to conjure up for the bland characters just didn't work. Plus the fact that in some of the scenes the delivered dialogue was just inaudible.
I am sure that there might be an audience out there for a movie such as "Lot Lizards", though I just can't fathom where or why.
My rating of "Lot Lizards" lands on a one out of ten stars. This movie was downright bad. It felt like something that I could have made myself with my DV camera and a handful of friends.
