Pluskylang Great Film overall

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

gregorija The title of this film IS my review. This film IS a disaster! It shows promise in the beginning and appears to be a good, entertaining ensemble cast. But soon we see that each character is simply a cliche. A doctor that makes ecstacy from items in the medicine cabinet and milk?? A theology teacher that actually thinks the rapture is Biblical?? And the last line is "are we going to do this or what?"?? I have an answer, "no!" "No, don't watch this movie". You'll thank me later.

arfdawg-1 The plot.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.This is one of the worst movies you will ever see. I am shocked that it got some good reviews here.The movie is nearly unwatchable.It's poorly directed and poorly acted.In fact, there is no acting. It appears the dialog is ad-libbed because if it's not, it's even worse than worse than awful.Half the movie are the actors jumping up and down.Honestly I have never seen such an amateurish film. It's as if a monkey was given a camera and this was the result.It's worse than a student film!!!

Larry Silverstein I can see by the diversity of opinion regarding this film that the humor and cleverness presented here will appeal to some and not to others. Unfortunately for me, although the movie had its' moments, it never completely worked, as it even seemed the filmmaker Todd Berger was trying too hard, so the comedy seemed forced and flat at times. However, I think Berger has potential as a filmmaker, and I would be interested in seeing what his next project will look like.An ensemble cast of eight meets for a regular couples' brunch, with the intention of socializing with good food, drink, and conversation. However, when a neighbor (Todd Berger himself) comes over dressed in a hazmat suit, he advises the group that "dirty" bombs have been set off in the downtown area, and they soon learn many other bombs have been set off in cities around the country. Apparently, the radiation and nerve gas effects will reach the group in a few hours time.As the couples come to grips with the impending apocalypse, various secrets are revealed to each other and re-evaluations of their relationships take place. Of course, this is not the first movie to combine impending tragedy with humor, and I felt in this regard it was only partially successful.The film takes a dark twist towards its' conclusion which left me with the feeling Berger wasn't certain which way he wanted to go with the ending.

dansview If the people are not religious and never proclaimed allegiance to Jesus, and if some are happy adulterers, how can they go to heaven? Why does the Ben Cross character think they would go to heaven? Why would drinking poison help you go to heaven better than dying from Nerve Gas, if in neither circumstance, did you find Jesus? Having said all that, I like the premise. Apocalyptic stuff can happen when you least expect it. You could be in the bathroom, or at a brunch, or whatever.In this case, the people could only react to the situation within the context of who they were. With no forewarning, they could just be themselves to the end, without much philosophizing. Whereas if they got a year's notice, they could possibly transform into deeper people.The reality is that a lot of people have the skills to do some job, but are pretty shallow and worthless otherwise. In this case, these were people who were raised on pop culture and cynicism. Some had skills and all could afford homes and cars. But they had no class.One reviewer from New Zealand said that was because these people were shallow Americans. But I'm not sure what he's talking about. Would he prefer we beat each other up over soccer matches or wait in long lines for socialist crap? There are a lot of shallow, worthless people all over the world. It's not unique to America. Nice use of dark comedy. I really liked the comic book guy. He had some funny lines and a really quirky way about him. I didn't need to see America Ferrera on the toilet. There's no point to that.Not one character ever mentioned their parents or siblings.Wouldn't drinking that poison lead to a tortured and prolonged death just like the nerve gas? Why were they referencing the University of Texas? Was it supposed to be Austin? The writer is from New Orleans. No one had an accent.I think it did show that couples can stick together, even after betrayal, when they have enough time and equity built into the relationship.The speech by the America Ferrera character about how the disaster made her realize that she wants out of her relationship was one of the best parts.The shots of their friends laying dead on the front porch were pretty eerie and a good use of tragicomedy.I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's depressing and not that funny. It would have to have been either funnier or deeper, to make it worth your while. But there was some good writing and adequate performances. Forget about it.
