With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who root for the clever crook and fans of small-town stories. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Shelve it next to Back to the Future. A place where gossip travels faster than the plot.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
In the small town of Ottawa, Illinois, where a rumor can spread like the plague and nobody's business is their own, six friends decide to change their weekly routine of watching movies in the basement and talking shit, to go out for a night on the town. On most nights this wouldn't be that taxing. But tonight isn't most nights. With rumors of the police commissioner's alleged disappearance circulating, and the mayor enacting a strict curfew, it doesn't take long for things to spiral out of control and the whole town to go mad. Is it just hysteria? Is it a curse? Is it Abraham Lincoln's fault? Nobody knows. But for the gang, only one thing is certain. They should have NEVER left the basement.
