Safer at Home

If you want to watch a movie that is set in the pandemic & incredibly unbelievable & boring & stupid then look no further than this one! The characters are clichéd & more like a twisted caricature of what the writers thought a group of friends are like. They try to appease the various demographic with the inclusion of an interracial couple, a stereotypical career driven Asian lady as well as a 2 Caucasian heterosexual couples. Shame they did not invest the same amount of effort on the plotline! The storyline is so stale and predictable that I could not enjoy it. I would ONLY recommend people watching this IF they watch the superior British film called Host thereafter that showed how the American writers what a good film ought to look like. Host has believable characters that are authentic, humour, scares & done within 50 minutes!

The acting in this movie is so terrible and not even enjoyable in a cheesy b-movie way. Every line that is obviously played up for laughs comes out awkwardly. These sad attempts at humor didn't make me laugh once and then the movie gets even more pathetic when the actors have more dramatic scenes. Every serious scene has the most generic dialogue that is performed awfully every time. Even if you like watching bad films don't bother with this, it's so pointless and lazy. And any review that calls any of this mess good acting is obviously someone trying to boost the rating.

Watch Unfriended or Unfriended 2. I've had more exciting work related Zoom calls than this movie. Don't wast your time, call a friend or family member on Face Time or Zoom.

Don't get me wrong, this wouldn't be a great thriller even without covid. But...do we really need this right now? A movie that makes our future seem even more bleak? This could have been easily be a movie post covid about friends that still do zoom meetings because they live across the states, or something like that. It wouldn't change anything plot-wise, and it wouldn't have reminded us of how bad things are or told us there is no hope for the future.

For people who love really boring movies. The movie consists of a boring trope, filled with unlikable characters, with very uninteresting and uninspired situations. Even MST3K might have trouble riffing this movie.

Basic story is zoomers do bad drugs and Zoom while describing their overdose but not acting like they overdosed. Then an argument, the most realistic part of the movie, breaks out and someone gets hurt. Then everyone makes terrible decisions while still Zooming. I'm making it sound way better than it is. Suffice to say, the acting and story are awful and this isn't worth your time.
