Not a total loss
cekadah1 March 2018
Low budget comedy in which each character does their best. It's funny and edgy in some scene's but most of the movie is vanilla comedy that works with the flavor of this movie.

Nicely cast with goofy characters! The plot flows through first two thirds of story then it falls apart once the scene changes to the karaoke setting. And the funny gets very thin.

You can get a few good laughs in this flick, thus it's not a total loss.

Meh

I think the reviews on here are probably by the film's production team.

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it at least a little--I did see it through to the end...but it's a very low budget movie and much of the humor is of the dick-joke variety (not that i don't like that type of humor).

The movie is slow paced, takes place mostly in one or two rooms, and has about 6 or 7 characters.

That being said, I liked the actors in the film, especially Kevin Machate (I actually had to do a bit of searching for his name just now, the IMDb page doesn't have a picture of him, that's how low-budget this film is lol).

There were some laughs, sure, but honestly not that many (and I laugh easily, even at the dumbest stuff).

A few times during the film, the comedy is literally spoof-like, making fun of itself, which really lowers its value.

Worth a watch if you have literally nothing else to watch...

Oh, and the title bugged me... Copycat is the name of the awesome 1995 Sigourney Weaver serial killer movie! At least name is CopycatS or something different, come on!!!

Awful acting, terrible script
joewa10 February 2017
When I watched this there was one very positive review which I now know was probably written by one of the crew.

I have to confess I didn't make it past half way, it was awful. The acting from Wostal and in particular Machate was diabolical - wooden and lifeless. It's a budget flick and that doesn't normally bother me, but in this instance it really felt like I was watching a school play, to the point that when actors were in their own in shot it felt like someone off camera was holding up their lines.

The only half decent actors in this was the Indian guy and the two girls.

The story isn't much good either. Nothing really happens, there's no subtext or depth, and certainly no effort to help you empathise with the characters.

A pretty poor effort all round. One star from me.

Liked it

I really liked this movie, not really anything special or extraordinary. But definitely a fun movie to watch when you have nothing else to do. This is definitely not a good or bad movie. Just right in the middle, i could see how people might think its not all that great, but if you are not a critic and like comedy movies this sure is a movie to remember after you have watched your first choices.

Funny film

Warning: Spoilers
This is a cute comedy with some really funny and memorable characters. Some of the scenes are priceless. A great movie for just about anyone who enjoys comedy. I laughed a lot during this film and I know you will too.

It might be the last day of work for these employees, but they seem to be making the most of it. It makes you wonder who hired them in the first place.

With a mixture of both seasoned actors and newcomers, this produces a blend of talent that creates a recipe for craziness to keep you entertained.
