Storyline
Eight friends meet for their monthly couples brunch. But what starts as an impromptu therapy session/airing of domestic grievances takes a sudden, catastrophic turn when the city falls victim to a mysterious attack. Trapped in the house and unsure of their fates, these seemingly normal people become increasingly unhinged to surprising results.
I came to watch this movie because I'm a David Cross fan and it's the
type of premise that appealed to me. I thought it did a great job of
depicting the disaster w/out spending a lot of money. Special effects
budget was probably somewhere around 200 bucks. It's structured similar
to that Jodie Foster/John C. Reilly movie that came out recently, i.e.
a couples get-together. Very funny but a lot of it might go over
peoples heads if they're into more obvious comedies. It's starts easy,
paced well throughout and had a great ending. A really good ending. I
really want to mention my favorite parts but I wouldn't want to give
any kind of spoiler. David Cross is a good barometer for whether or not
you'd enjoy this. If you've heard his stand-up anyways. Watch it, and
if you didn't like it, sorry. Just go watch Big Momma's House again and
bask in your impeccable taste for comedy and superior intellect. Ciao
homies.
