Gravy (2015)

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

An Exercise In Nonsense

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This movie is a complete waste of time and a total turd. Anyone who thinks this is worth watching is an idiot. Not funny, clever, or compelling in any way. Avoid at every opportunity. Shark Babes has more to offer and is a better use of your time. Then again, just about anything is better than suffering through this piece of trash.

Psych Fans beware...this is NOT anything like Psych- it IS however and awesomely fun gorefest brought to us by a fabulous (and clearly influenced as a child by the awesomely fun and ridiculous 80's horror decade that made anyone who grew up in that decade slightly demented in a wonderful way) James Roday. If you love Evil Dead (all of them)Reanimator (and Bride of)Killer Clowns from OuterSpace,Fright Night, American Werewolf in London...goofy gore laden fun- then this is for you. I really enjoyed this movie. The cast was AMAZING there is not a single person in this that isn't fantastic. If weird, dark, sick, funny humor is your jam-then THIS is your jam. Keep an eye out for the LOL funny cameo by James and Dule which was the icing on the already delicious cake of a movie that this was. Check your morals and high standards at the door, kick back and enjoy.

This movie tries so hard to be funny and alternative and smart, but every joke falls flat. The screen writing is going for funny outrageous sarcastic, but nothing in it is funny enough to rise above trying too hard. For example, one character calls another a "Barry Gibb looking dude." That's supposed to be funny, but the guy hardly looks like Barry Gibb, so the joke doesn't work. If she had called him, "you fatter, unfunny Paul Rudd-looking dude, that might have been a little funny. The gory parts look too cheap to be scary, and the unreal and lame dialogue makes it impossible to care about what anyone says. It tries to be Eating Raoul, but it turns out to be Sharknado - pretty much impossible to sit through. Some good actors, but such weak material that nobody could make a good movie out of it.

What a roller-coaster ride!I was not expecting that much watching this movie. I thought about a bad C movie with a cheap producing. Already in the first minutes I realized that my thoughts were wrong.I really enjoyed the movie very much. It's an elegant mix of comedy and horror, where the classification in the one or the other scope is not always obvious. Both genre are successfully assisted by the whole techniques and instruments of film making.The story is pretty flat but that is not the point of the movie and you won't miss it. The focus is much more on the presentation of the different scenes, underlined by some suitable/ non suitable music, and good camera views. Last but not least the screenplay is pretty smart, so that you won't always know if you what you are watching is supposed fright or make you laugh.Thank you for the experience mister Roday.
