eskimosound Review of When Jeff Tried to Save the World

When Jeff Tried to Save the World (2018)

I expected this to be much better....

[3/10 · 23 January 2020]

Sadly this is a very boring movie. Maybe it's because I don't understand the Bowling culture but it's just a slow paced dull movie. I'm half way through it whilst writing this and I don't think I will bother till the end. I don't care about the situation, the characters or the outcome. I thought Napoleon Dynamite was brilliant and have watched this movie on the back of it's success but unfortunately it doesn't hit the grade... So for now it's getting a low rating. Edit: I didn't finish watching the movie, it really wasn't worth it. But I feel I must explain, it's not the acting, that's great, it not the directing, that's great, it's the story...indeed it's like watching a very dull documentary. Boring story. Boring scenarios. Boring action. And unfortunately it's not a comedy.
