Review of Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) by Moviemitch96 — 10 Aug 2022
This gen-Z whodunit sees a group of rich friends who gather together for a party during a hurricane and decide to play the party game Bodies Bodies Bodies. However, when an actual murder transpires among the group, suspicions are raised and friendships are put to the test as they fight to find who among them could've possibly been the culprit.
The premise and cast had me intrigued from the start, with names like Maria Bakalova (of Borat 2 fame) and of course SNL's Pete Davidson to name a couple. It looked as though things would be entertaining and enjoyable enough here, however I was unfortunately so wrong.
I dreaded and despised nearly every single moment of this vapid and shallow film that consisted of nothing but vapid and shallow people. With the exception of maybe Bakalova, none of the performances here are worth singling out.
Literally everyone in this film was terrible, annoying, and completely unfunny. And most people either love or hate Davidson. I personally really enjoy him and found him funny during most of his tenure on SNL, but here, his character is completely wasted (literally and metaphorically) and not even he could save things.
Storywise, it's all thoroughly devoid of any genuine suspense or tension, has twists and turns you can see coming from a mile away, and tries painfully hard to come across as hip, modern, funny, and clever.
.. And it fails miserably at all of these things. Overall, it's one of the most pointless and disposable films I've seen in recent memory. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about this one whatsoever.
