Highway to Havasu (2017)

I'M OFFENDED.

Not by the barrage of swearing, not by the brazen nudity, but by the fact that they have the gall to call this a comedy.

Leniency is often offered to low budget films because not everyone can use their creative restrictions to their advantage to craft something like Jaws or Alien. But in the case of Highway to Havasu, I bequeath none. For lo, it is not strangled by its limitations, but rather, quite the opposite. The budgetary restraints have not resulted in a compromised product, but rather, an undignified charter of the laziest filmmaking possible. The non-existent script of which, must have been devised as a "comedy" precisely because directionless, illiterate, director/writer Jeff Janke was called "funny" and a "class clown" in secondary school. Behold, this effrontery feature that dares to call itself a film, has been brought upon us simply because some kid once told Jeff Janke that "he's so funny, he should make a movie."

I have no words for such an attack on my culture. My movie culture. This must be terrorism! And if so, to ISIL, I yield.

Tis really is, a bad movie.
