One of the weirdest movies I've seen
dmanmotherf10 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Probably one of the weirdest movies I seen in my life. It's like a play with some after school special made by sex addicted anonymous. It gets pretty gangsta, but in the way a church group may picture it. I'm not sure if this is meant to be religious. What is confusing is the movie is clearly trying to be a drama with some funny moments but there is a laugh track throughout the whole movie. The connections aren't completely there in the story they just kind of go to the next step, very much like an "educational" play, as in it lacks substance, but also very unrealistic. I feel the direction took away from the acting, which made it very hit or miss. The 3rd act of the movie is everywhere and is rushed through after the his issues come to a climax. After that it turns into an SAA meeting and talking about prayer and Christianity randomly. I saw this on the LOL! Network and I am confused why it has a laugh track because it is not a comedy, at least not intentionally. It has corny jokes and the parts involving adult themes are really weird, like written by someone who avoids it, only made odder by a laugh track, even used in serious scenes played without music. It's like a weird sitcom, one of the weirdest movies I seen. Not great, but I couldn't look away, mainly because of the laugh track, I can't state that enough.

Bored beyond words...

For a drama with comedy elements, then "4Play" sure failed to deliver on both accounts. Not even one-fourth into the movie and I was ready to give up already, because I hadn't laughed once, and because the movie lacked anything that even resembled being interesting.

The characters were shallow and one-dimensional, although people in the various roles tried their best, but they just had nothing to work with.

I definitely wasn't in the target audience for this particular genre of movies. And I ended up giving up not even halfway through the ordeal.

Why would you want to sit down and watch this abysmal drama? Well, perhaps if you are a hardcore fan of anyone on the cast list. Other than that, then I see nothing appealing about this movie. And having given up on the movie not even halfway through, I can honestly say that I am not even going to give this a second chance.
