This movie gotta be one of the worst movies I've seen this year, and I watch Lifetime movies for fun. I don't know who thought this movie was a good idea. Did the people filming this movie think it was a good idea too? There's no way people weren't actually on drugs during production. ($20 million budget) There's Skai Jackson with an RPG, the creepy girl from Orphan doing a lap dance, Batwoman with a Streetfighter reference, and COD-style montage footage. None of it was good and it is as fever dreamish as it sounds. The acting felt like everyone knew it was bs and a cash grab except for one individual. She wasn't good, in fact, her acting was atrocious, it was like watching a skinwalker learn to be human and talk in English with Jim Carrey's mask on. 2/10.

Right, well I was actually expecting the 2023 movie "Sheroes" to be an action comedy when I sat down to watch it. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't really sure on just what I was getting into.

And having just sat through 91 minutes of "Sheroes", I have to say wow. Just wow! This movie, from writer and director Jordan Gertner was just a bitter pill to swallow. While the storyline started out adequately, and definitely seemed like a comedy, the movie just quickly took a turn and become an action movie. But it just didn't feel right in any way, especially since the characters were so very unlikely action heroines. They went from partying young adults to suddenly becoming highly trained ladies capable of taking down a Thai drug cartel singlehandedly, something which several countries had been unsuccessful in doing. Yeah, that was very plausible and believable.

The storyline in the movie just felt awkward, because I am sure that writer and director Jordan Gertner were fully serious about the plot, storyline, characters and the contents of the story.

While I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, I will say that the actresses and actors on the cast list actually performed adequately, despite of a very laughable script they had to work with.

If you enjoy action movies, then perhaps you would get a kick out of watching "Sheroes", if you can get past the fact that the director was fully serious about what was transpiring on the screen. I managed to sit through the movie, and found some bizarre, odd entertainment to the ludicrous plot. However, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of writer and director Jordan Gertner's 2023 movie "Sheroes" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Generic Party Girls go to rich-lead's "casa" in Thailand and mess with a drug cartel. Soon, one of them is kidnapped and they fight to get her back.

The story is REALLY simple and devoid of any depth (as you could tell from the trailers), and how the film executes and develops on that is barely coherent and not worth critiquing or discussing. I'm actually impressed with the quality of the Cinematography and Lighting, though! Nice locations too.. but the tired interactions and childish dialogue, boring personalities and bad "action" makes this a boring watch. I'd go as far as to call this an insult to the viewers, scriptwriters anywhere, and even to those fighting against Drug Cartels! Oh, and after a while of getting to know these girls (specially "Diamond"), nothing they intend as 'erotic' is remotely appealing.. it comes across as silly.

Holy moly is this bad.

In chronological order of awfulness. It has Terrible cgi

The dialogue, script and plot are childish. Some of the Borrowed dialogue from Taken is cringe.

Unlikeable characters, make that every character in the movie are awful, stereotypical and wooden.

I could go on with the Bad dialogue, the Terrible acting, The Flawed logic involved in the plot, eg, the sniper rifle just hanging around, is laughable.

Jordan Gertner who wrote and directed this is, ahem, famous for bringing us the awful Spring Breakers and the equally risible London Fields. I'm not kidding this is Showgirls bad.

Good god where to start well I couldn't even make it to the end of the moive

But let's start off with the nicknames they are given (wouldn't normally say this sort of thing about actresses but you opened the doors with the crazy hot naming) the names for them make no sense unless this film was meant to be a parody "crazy hot" well she just isn't (two of the others are more attractive), the "wanting star" appears to already be an actress in the film and some how acted better when pretending to be one in the film. Then a few minutes in they get on the plane which is the most hard to watch thing I have ever seen first off they have extremely cringe door opening sounds also from one angle it shows lights coming through the plane windows then the other it is dark (can see / that it's a sort of mdf wall) the cgi of the plane looks like it's more at home on the average YouTube video. The acting is we'll just flat out wooden and bad script writing to the point that the main characters appear to be asking out loud questions the viewers are meant to be asking themselves. My summary of this film would be bad acting, bad and uneventful script. Recommend to avoid and watch almost anything else.

It's a bit like the A-Team but with a prettier cast and a less intellectual script. This film did make the A-Team exploits look fairly believable in comparison.

You can stop reading here but apparently I need to type a lot more characters to submit this review! I'm not sure whether I can keep going but, if the script writer of the film managed to keep going to the end, then I can't see why I can't.

I think they just needed someone to look at the cast and then at the script and ask themselves honestly - would I believe this if it was shown to me as a film? Maybe, after a lot of beer it might get more believable but I suspect I'd of passed out before this point.

Ezra "Waning Star" (Isabelle Fuhrman), Diamond "Crazy Hot" (Sasha Luss), Ryder "Skater Girl" (Wallis Day), and Daisy "Lost Soul" (Skai Jackson) are best friends forever. Diamond's movie superstar dad invites the girls to the vacation home in Phuket, Thailand. Jasper (Jack Kesy) is their private plane new pilot. A baggage mix-up leaves the girls with a bag full of cocaine.

This is written and directed by Jordan Gertner which is his debut for both jobs. I get what he's trying to do, but it's not fun. More than anything, the audience is looking for fun. This is not it. First, these are vapid party girls and not in a fun way. They start the movie by doing various complaints. I understand Ryder's sexist complaint and Daisy's job complaint. Diamond opens with her being "Crazy Hot" and just annoying entitlement. She's the leader and sets an infuriating tone. The bag of drugs has no explanation. The girls are the authors of their own downfall. The movie then tries to be Charlie's Angels and it's like one of the lesser of that franchise. This needs more fun, more imagination, and more appealing characters.

From the synopsis, I thought that this might be a little fun movie to while away the time, I was right. It was nice to see Isabelle Fuhrman (Ezra) being all feminine and sexy, especially after I had recently seen her in Orphan: First Kill (2022). Wallis Day (Ryder) played the part of the fighter, but was portrayed to look like Wallis Day in Charlie's Angels (2019), but that was in my opinion. Sasha Luss (Diamond) played the part well enough, but I couldn't take to her character. Skai Jackson (Daisy) was just the helpless love interest that needed to be rescued.

With a relatively small budget (around $20 million), I think that the movie was done well enough. A bigger budget would have produced a much better experience, but it is what is. Some acting is rubbish and is definitely a B level performance. The writing, it's easy to see where some of the inspiration came from, just didn't have the budget to produce it for the screen.

Don't expect big budget effects and polish, and you will probably enjoy it. I would recommend this.

So this movie open up with 4 party goer young ladies on a vacation in Thailand. Something goes wrong and one of them is captured and they have to save her.

On paper it looks like a funny action comedy ... the problem is... its neither.

Never the movie really try to be funny. There is some back and forth between the main characters that may pull half a smile out of you but thats it. How about action? Nope. There is barely any.

The movie has maybe like 10 minutes of poorly filmed gun fights and 1 barely decent hand to hand action sequence. Thats all.

This movie is a receipy for disaster at first glance but somehow ... i can't totally trash it. The 4 main actresses are somewhat charismatic enough to make me go along the very uninteresting and completely ridiculous story.

They act well enough and have some personality so you kinda get invested a bit into them. That said the story is REALLY dumb. Like some guys said it would had work as a VERY self aware action comedy, like really going for nonsense and nothing serious but the movie try to be serious for the whole thing.

I want to keep this spoiler free so nothing specific but it borrow some cliché from action movies where you supose to be thinking its an hommage or be funny but it lead to nothing really. Not even a chuckle.

Even the key plot point make no sense as a serious movie. Its not a spoiler as its in the trailer but one of them get captured and this is basically a rescue mission. Ok fine. But why the big bad drug cartel vilains didn't capture all 4 of them? Why 1???

This is the kind of nonsense we could overlook in a very funny comedy but like i said this is not it... Its not meant to be funny. Its meant to be serious.

Also maybe the less important thing but beside the expensive car and luxury villa, the movie must had the budget of a cinema school because they even CGI (Playstation 2 type of graphics) a plane in air. Like litterally Star Wars miniatures from 1977 look more real.

Overall this movie is a dumpster fire. There is nothing redeemable in the script or cinematography. BUT Sasha Luss, Wallis Day and the 2 other actresses have SOME chemistry on screen and act well with the material given... so they kinda made me forget at time what kinda bad movie i was watching.

That said, do i ever wanna watch this movie again? No. I wanna see these actresses in better project tough. Im being ULTRA generous with a 4 out of 10 (or 2 stars if you on Letterboxd) because despite it all the movie is rather short and i kinda wanted to see how it ended... so it did manage to get SOME of my attention (i did looked at my cell and answered a few messengers twice tough).

Because she's a nice girl as much as she has a great actress. She's really nice to her fans. She doesn't seem to get a lot of opportunities. Maybe they think she's too intimidatingly sexy. Anyway, every time I see a whole lot of bad reviews, I tend to want to check out the IP more because critics tend to be wrong. The great thing about streaming, is you do not have to sit through something if you don't want to. You can just watch it in little intervals. A lot of times if a movie is compelling, then I'll probably want to stay and watch it in one sitting. But just because I watch something in one sitting, doesn't mean it was a good movie.

The basic economics of film making dictate that, in today's market, there is more demand than supply. Creators can fill the void with overhyped overpriced nonsense (like F&F X) or they can set a more realistic target. And hit it. This is what used to be called a B movie meant to fill time with a colorful and distracting tale of 4 beautiful women who take a spur of the moment trip to Thailand and immediately get involved in some zany adventures involving goons and guns. It never promised to be more than that. And it delivers. It is technically perfect. Even the music fits. I can think of a dozen Netflix series I started and never finished because the production team just plain ran out of ideas halfway in. This film sets a target and hits it. Why the haters?

See right Sheroes is a mess a real mess. I don't know if they wanted to do a Charlie's Angels with 4 friends who do their usual skills thing to survive. Hearing it had a $20million budget! It looked amateurish at best and o yes none of the 4 friends are known (well I don't know them) but none of them elevated this shambles of a movie. They tried to do the Deadpool cursing thing but it came across as forced and stale. I say this again I don't think I will stay to watch this on Television again even if it's free on satellite television as it's a stinker of a movie. FYI the CGi is terrible. No shades but it is not a good movie. 1 over 10 is more than appealing since IMDB can't make you put a 0.

To be honest, the only reason I watched this, is because I like most of the movies that Isabelle Fuhrman has been in. The current rating is something like 3.5, but I gave it a 4, because it kept my attention. There's quite a few new movies that can't even accomplish that, and I end up not watching them or barely paying attention. This movie isn't good, but if you're bored and like some of the actresses, then it might be worth your time. If not, I would not recommend it. Although it is amusing at times, it's not exactly original or clever in any way. Still, if you're bored and curious, it might be entertaining enough for you.

Watched this atrocious attempt at an action movie.

Storyline feels like it was put together from a mosh mash of kindergarten children, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, characters are hollow and show no real emotion, find a bagful of cocaine and not surprise or horror at the face someone is gonna come looking for it. Cannot actually think of anything positive about this pathetic excuse for a movie. I can only wish that i my eyes had not been offended by this utter rubbish.

The diamond character is the worst, the actress should go back to working in Macdonalds, and the writers well they should find another profession.
