Missed the mark completely. From the very beginning, this movie was a disorganized mess. The plot, if you could even call it that, was utterly incoherent, leaving the audience confused and disinterested. The cinematography was poorly done, with terrible lighting that made it hard to see what was happening in some scenes. On top of that, the acting was painfully wooden, as if the cast had no investment in their roles whatsoever. The script? Absolute drivel. It was filled with pointless dialogue, and any attempt at humor was a sad recycling of Trailer Park Boys one-liners, which felt lazy and uninspired.
In my 50+ years of watching films, I've developed a personal policy of always finishing a movie, no matter how bad it gets. But for the first time, I truly regretted that policy. I found myself constantly checking the time, wondering how much longer I would have to endure this trainwreck. Had the writer/director not been present in the same cinema, I wouldn't have hesitated to leave after just 25 minutes.
Let me be clear-this isn't a case of "not getting the point" or "not understanding the humor." I'm more than willing to embrace different styles of filmmaking and storytelling. But this was simply an unmitigated disaster, with no redeeming qualities to speak of. It wasn't just a bad movie; it was the worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of watching. It's one that will stay with me for all the wrong reasons.

There's nothing more I can add except to agree 100% with every word. I wanted to love it because I knew some of the people involved in it. There was no discernible plot, nothing made sense and the acting was atrocious. I tried (emphasis on *tried*) to watch it a second time with my husband and STILL didn't "get it" (nor did he), so we then knew: it's not us, it's them- this dumpster fire is the worst thing I've ever charged to my Visa card. The trailer park boys are at least funny. I tried hard to scrape for anything positive in this film....nothing....well...the beach was pretty. That's all I got. Sorry guys. It's actually a zero star if we are going to be honest, but 1 is the lowest.
