Quasi (2023)

Not a pretentious review...

[8/10 · 22 April 2023]

Simple story, nice movie, looks like they had fun making it. What else can you expect?

Of course people saw better movies, and Broken Lizard made different stuff in the past but hey, the important thing is that they can still work together after so many years.

I don't think it is the type of movie that makes you burst out laughing like Slamin' Salmon or Super Troopers, but it is still a concise story line that kept me on, entertaining enough with funny moments, and something quite important to think about: without a multimillion dollar budget and an tiresome amount of CGI.

I hope they keep putting things together and having fun creating things. God knows we need it!

The definition of "so bad, it's good" / definición de "es tan malo que es bueno"

I watched these loooong episodes. The scenery is nice, which is most of the reason for the stars I am giving. However, the cameras could have focused more on the landscape than the character's fashion.

The plot is full of holes. You will ask yourself multiple times "why do I keep watching this?" but try to give another chance... until the last episode.

I wouldn't be able to explain how did I finish the whole thing, maybe to justify writing this review (?).

After the first episode, the whole thing starts to become a basic soup opera, with (again) looooong episodes and too focused on the relationships between a few couples rather than the plot itself. Overall, I am disappointed. They could have used so much more of the characters or told the same story with a third of the time.

I don't think I'll watch the second season. To be honest, it kind of pissed me off that they decided have some characters awake and take some action at the last episode.

Btw, the colombian guy's accent is so terrible is going to make you want to punch the TV.
