Review of The Hollars (2016) by Skeptic303 — 17 Oct 2016

From the trailer, The Hollars actually looked pretty decent, but as the movie kept chugging along, the clearest description was too many characters, too little conflict.

First and foremost, I'd like to credit this movie for at least dodging much of the clichés that Hollywood recycles on a weekly basis, but clichés aren't as critical as how something is carried out. That's where this falls short. It obviously wants to be soft and sweet; then, it becomes so soft that the conflict seems weightless. It obviously wants to focus on a group of characters; then it features too many characters for its 88 minute runtime to develop properly.

It all goes too far without much of a point, and it drags constantly. I can only grant this disappointment a seal of expendability.
