Many years ago I watched a couple. After I watched the first one and it was awful - I thought I’d try just one more time. The movies are basically a hour(s) long version of a soap opera. They don’t just feel cheap - everything is wonky or barely serviceable: the plot, the story arcs, the direction, the actors, the photography, the music, even details like the set design. It’s uncanny. It’s as if there’s a rule that nobody is allowed to do a good job.
“Mike! What are we gonna do! They’ll think we [killed that guy / ruined Thanksgiving / forgot grammy’s birthday / lost the ancient amulet]!”
“I got a plan, Jessica.”
“No, you don’t!”
“Yes, I do!”
“No, you don’t! What is it?!”
“Hold on. I’m thinking…”
[Cue another cheesy flashback with even worse lame jokes.]
