Foam Drive Renegades (2013)
1/10
This is my first real review on IMDb and since I live in Halifax I thought it should be about a local film. My first comment on this film is that it looks pristine. The directing, hair and makeup, wardrobe, and music were all awesome and very well done. The art department is obviously pro. However, this film cannot slide by on looks alone.
The acting, particularly by the actor playing Kyle, was terrible. This actor seemed to think that saying everything in a hushed mono tone equals something akin to sincerity and quality acting. The puppet even seemed to have more an array of emotion.
The humor in this film has the range of intelligence and wit of a high school dropout. That is to say, it has nothing interesting or new to say. This film is simply a throw back, a nod to films that have done this genre better in the past. In this sense, it is superfluous and a redundancy in the film industry.
The fact that this film has won anything is a testament to how bleak the landscape of Canadian film really is. It's not original, it's not smart, it's not entertaining, and it certainly is not art.
In short, this movie bored me. If this were a feature length film it would be collecting dust at the bottom of the 99 cent bin at your nearest Wal-Mart. Don't waste your time, even if it's only ten minutes. Go watch Iron Man instead.
