Audience Reviews

Kamurai 5/10 Sep 13, 2020
Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend, at least as a one off.

Vincent Martella isn't much to speak of in this, I'm sure almost any actor fitting the demographic would have fulfill the role as written.

Jennifer Laporte really shows that she's able to carry the movie without breaking a sweat. She's a league above the other actors in the movie.

The supporting cast is all decent, if forgettable, with one note jokes and just very little benefit to the movie, but I don't blame the actors, they just did what was in the script.

To be clear, this is not a good movie, but I it has a certain charm to it that makes it worth a watch, and I would understand if people clung to it.

I thought this was going to be a "Life After Beth", but gender flipped and with a possessed bear, giving it a "Child's Play" vibe. (I think I'd really like to see that movie though.) Instead we get a whiny guy screaming, "why don't you love me?!?" for most of the movie while this amazing young lady has to endure all this trauma (enough that it wouldn't have surprised me if at the end of the movie she had imagined everything after the break up.) just trying to be her best self, and doing really well at it too.

All the after-life exploration is done off screen, and the focus is on the living person, not the dead, so we don't get any of the great character development we could have.

Honestly, go watch "Life After Beth" first, then come back and watch this if you still need something to scratch the itch.
