My wife and I watched this together on a rainy day and laughed a lot. It is somewhat stupid and over the top as a farce should be.

It will not be for people who don't like explicit swearing or sex in movies. Maybe they were all the 1 stars. Watching a drunken threesome was a little confronting for me and there were not many laughs in it, though it was I guess, trying to tell us something about the silly characters.

So... the actors do their job in a charming and/or offensive way and are good looking as well. The London setting and wealth of half the family add to the entertaining escape of this movie. Will it educate you on anything important or remain in your thoughts for days after viewing? I certainly reckon not.

So to sum up, it has vulgarity along with its cliches and lots of laughs.

Evicted is one of those movies that reminds you that a few actors and a reasonable script can keep you entertained for a couple of hours, pretty much as well as some high budget forgettable cartoon film. Maybe even better if you are a grown up. While there are hints at a commentary on the parlous state of real estate in Australia in 2022, it is just a backdrop to the lives of the four main characters as they negotiate some farcical pitfalls of work and love and life in the modern world.

The film manages to pull it off with a lot of laugh out loud moments. Though a little shaky at the start, I found myself warming to each housemate until the satisfying conclusion.
