The Binge (2020)
4/10
Not the comedy version of The Purge
28 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This wants very much to be a comedy version of "The Purge'. You know one night a year where everyone is free to drink and drug with little to know consequence. However it quickly turns into a bad teenage farce where a group of guys try to get to a party where one of them wants to ask out a girl and another just wants to have one last night with his best friend who is going off to college without him. While the third wants to prove he is just as cool as his older brother in the party game of legend. They are all being chased by the Principal of their school and the father of the girl one of them is desperate to ask out to prom. This all sounds like fun but it isn't really because it is all the typical hijinks of this kind of comedy and the most interesting thing is the background idea which is only hinted at. The one day a year party. While "The Purge" and its sequels and tv shows relishes in the concept "The Binge" just uses it as a back drop to gets a bunch of people on a journey from one place to another. In all honestly it is rather disappointing.
