I don't know what this even was. It comes off like maybe it was a play that they did in front of an empty theater during the day and filmed multiple performances and then edited it together into a movie.
Even the sets look like a play. The blocking and movement of the characters absolutely reads like it too. So does the pacing of the dialogue like there's parts for laughs or dramatic responses from the audience. People look around towards where the audience would be when the deliver lines. Most of it takes place in the same living room location - to the point one of the characters sleeps on the couch in her pajamas and sleep mask. Why???
But it did just about nothing right. It looks crap. It's written terribly and people just outright tell each other what's going on in the movie or what their motivations are or why they're doing something. It's lit like an over saturated nightmare. People's skin look almost orange because the lighting is so harsh and from one specific direction.
Sometimes characters walk right off the screen when they're still talking to each other because it's so poorly filmed. Stuff happens and you're not sure what you're looking at because it's so zoomed in sometimes. People are blurry during some shots because it's not focused to the correct depth.
The plot is mostly two women squabbling about what they want a man to do with his time and money and body as he's an injured ball player and his mom and wife both have ideas of what he should do. They argue and disagree and throw barbs at each other for no reason other than the plot calling for it. It's insulting to both men and women for different reasons and says nothing of interpersonal relationships - or anything else. Then the wife leaves for another man to use and he falls for the cute nurse assigned to him. Blah blah blah.
I got this for $1 at some used store and it was definitely worth it to make fun of, but that's about it. If you like bad cinema and pointing out shortcomings, then this may be worth watching once. If not, avoid this melodramatic bilge and watch...we'll almost anything else.
