It has always been us Americans that like to remake films, but this is an example of the Brits doing it, and doing it badly.
Maybe the filmmakers were just not aware of the excellent Life After Beth from 2014, and maybe it's just one of those occasions when two lots of people have similar ideas, but this film has just recently come out, so I'm not sure.
Whatever the reasons this film is pretty bad. It's mediocre in almost every respect, which makes it less entertaining than if it were truly bad.
The actors try their best and I commend them for that, but it's just not a good enough vehicle for them to shine. The directors, and I think I'm right when I say there are two, which explains a lot, seem muddled in their storytelling.
But my main argument is that this has been done before, quite recently, and better. So why bother?
I hope, and think that they will, go on to better things, but they need to learn from this film and see it for what it is before they move on.
I wouldn't recommend it. Just watch Life After Beth. (I have nothing to do with that film!)
