New Film Review: The Hollars

Image result for the hollars movie

THE HOLLARS

Directing John Krasinski
Screenplay by James C Strouse
Starring John Krasinski; Richard Jenkins; Anna Kendrick; and Margo Martindale





Well the trailer makes it seem funny. Trust me..it is not.

This film is really bad. Like reeeeeaaaallly bad. How can it be so bad with all these star?
I do not have an answer for that. I just know it is bad.

Everybody is annoying as they wallow.in their own missery.

Jenkins as the father may be putting on his worse performance ever. Cringe worthy.
Krasinski, who I love and his name and his directing sucked me in, is annoying and just bad, He is better than this.
Kendrick as the girlfriend who should run away real fast is pleasant but is annoying that she is not running away from this mess of a family and mess of a film.
Martindale. People say she gives a good performance. I disagree. I think she is as annoying as the whole family and towns people. She looks to me like she wants to roll that bed away from this film.

The script. How bad is the script:

A man crawls through a window of his ex's house in the middle of the night. I think they thought we would think it is funny. No...just creepy.

A woman goes into labor at a funeral. No they don't ask for a ride from any of the many relatives at the funeral, they decide to use the hearse. So bad. So creepy. So unfunny. So odd.

So many stars yet so bad. 1/2 a star out of 5. One of the worst. They even try to pull at your emotions and that fails. Stay away for The Hollers.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
