Dysfunctional Friends (2012) Reviews

• Everybody Cheats on Everybody

  The acting in this movie was terrible with the exception of Stacy Dash and Reagan Gomez-Preston. Christian Keyes was pretty good too as Stylz. The rest were just too cheesy. It has its funny parts but most of it made me cringe. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a feel good movie in the way that everyone so blatantly cheats on their significant others without batting an eye. I wished they would have gone into more of the background of some of the characters, especially the main friend in who's house they stay. It seemed like he made his will yesterday. It could have been much better but was sub-par, IMO. I don't think I'd recommend it.

  I watched this film with my mother and I have to say we enjoyed it. Finally, a movie about young black people with good careers and good actors. We liked the plot of the movie. I feel like it had a nice flow to it and the characters were developed well enough. The movie was very entertaining. The only thing that I didn't like about the movie was the choice of words the characters used. Sometimes when arguments ignited in the movie the curse words flowed excessively. During those scenes I feel like the f bomb could have been left out. If you don't care to hear the words mf'ers and the f bomb just mute the angry scenes and enjoy the rest of the movie;)

  This movie is one of the best of 2012! In Dysfunctional Friends you see some very talented fresh faces Like Christian Keyes and Angela Simmons and many of the pros coming together on one screen like Stacy Dash and Datari Turner. The bond between friends is the overall theme in this drama/comedy and its the relationships; both past and present that make us who we are. I laughed hard and even got teary-eyed in the nearly 2 hour film. This movie is a classic and I wish that it could have had a better chance of being on the silver screen with a bigger budget. Good movie Enjoy H.R.H

• You look like Meagan Good

  When rich guy Dennis dies, he leaves "something" in his will for his college friends if they all spend 5 days together in his house. We have seen these type of impracticable "will" movies before. The characters include a washed up rapper who still thinks he has a career, a film star who does direct to DVD movies, a porno director, a business man cheating on his wife, A male model, a couple of gold diggers, a women engaged to an athlete and a sports writer who still loves said woman. Ebony (Reagan Gomez-Preston) is the chief antagonist in this group of friends which you wonder how they ever put up with each other in the first place. Dennis was apparently the glue that held the group together. Meagan Good, which is billed as a star in the film has a minor role and is not part of the group. The first 2 days they spend together, the acting and dialouge are horrible. If you can make it into day 3 the movie starts to get interesting, as if a new writer and cast were hired. Even TO did well. The problem is I couldn't connect with any of the characters, who were introduced late, so when things are supposed to get interesting, I was bored. Days 3 and 4 showed promise and gave us material for the climatic dinner at day 5 which returned to the terrible dialouge of earlier. There was a feel good ending. F-bomb, no sex, no nudity, sex talk.

• Typical, cliché, a little slow for today's audience but...

  Look we've all seen cheesy movies. This could be worse. At least it employed some Black folks. I think movies have one of three types. Hollywood Happy Ending, Shakespeare Tragedy, or WTF? (trying to make you think, but about what is always the issue) I would have had the ending where their time together caused them to help each other. The ending this story has was not as plausible. And even though my way you would have seen an hour into the movie at least it would have been more believable. Good Luck. Medea's family it ain't. Favorite line: "not gonna happen dot com." said by my favorite character too.
