A waste of 90 minutes of my life
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Ok, so the movie it worth watching, got some funny moments, keeps the entertainment up, but it is lacking a lot of something. The humor could be more, the plot could be less translucent, and the characters could use a little more development. But all in all, it's a fun flick, good if you like horror, especially good if you're a fan of horror-comedy. But man, that female lead character is more annoying than a goat's head stuck to the jimmies. Because not only is she STUPID as hell, but she is completely oblivious to ANYTHING wrong about her son, or anything at all with her surroundings. Makes for a totally unbelievable and frustrating character. Still, fun flick. Check it out.
Take "The Omen", add a little "Poltergeist", mix with "Shaun of the Dead" sensibilities. Nicely done. An amusing little entertainment. Adam Scott feels like a next generation Richard Benjamin.
Since Netflix started making its own movies and shows, they have pretty much been justifying keeping the monthly subscription, despite their increasingly pitiful movie collection. With programs like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and the Marvel shows, they stand out among the pay streaming services that try to seduce cord cutters.Of course though, as this particular movie points out, they can't all be home runs. The first mistake was, this showed up in the horror movie category. Really, the best place for it is comedies but a very dark comedy at that.The movie was all over the place with what it was trying to be. If I could sum it up, I would say maybe a very loose adaptation of The Omen (which is actually referenced), except with less scare and more attempts at jokes that mostly fall flat and attempts at action, where they have zero knowledge of competent stunt work and special effects. Then there is the family aspect, which is meant to be heartwarming but mostly comes off cheesy, due to the abrupt changes of tone throughout.The 2 main actors are decent enough and they are well known. Most of the other actors are forgettable and one dimensional. If this seems interesting to you, there may be some entertainment value to keep you occupied. If however, you're looking for Netflix's next great thing, this ain't it.
Gary (Adam Scott) meets hot single mom (Evangeline Lilly) & swiftly marries her but she has baggage in the form of little Stepson Lucas. Born on June 6th, coming up to his 6th birthday & probably the Antichrist! Gary's denial of the situation quickly runs out when horrible accidents start to happen, so with the help of co-worker and scene stealer Al he attempts to thwart Armageddon & shape a happy marriage.A quality cliché comedy from Netflix for a lazy afternoon.
