The Curse of Cable

Rating: 4/10 (9 January 2017)

If it weren't for their incredible series, premium channels would have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Their movie offerings are so hit and miss, and they keep reshowing the same things. I had heard enough about this film and I had some bills to pay. So I sat down and survived it. I'm too old, I guess. I know this is so outrageous that one shouldn't take it seriously. I often comment on people's reactions to things that aren't anything but entertaining. This film is just not very engaging. It's a bit too much to think that a group of men could all get so drunk that they can't remember anything. For one to have that issue is stretching it. For all of them. Well! I do admit that given some of the visual stuff, I did laugh. I mean, there's a tiger in one of the rooms. There's a chicken running around. But at some point, it is so over the top, and the issues so irreconcilable, I had to think that only ridiculous plotting could get them out of this. And, of course, it did. Sometimes, I'm amazed at how movies gravitate toward the lowest common denominator and this one does as well. But I will pass on being too harsh. There are people who think Macdonalds makes the best food there is and there are people who have this taste in movies. To each "his" own.
