Keeping up with the Romans
1 January 2021
No this has nothing to do with the Kardashians or any reality show. I just thought this was a funny way to describe the movie. A very silly movie that is. And a movie that apparantly had a TV show it was based on. Since I've never seen that, I can not comment on that fact. Another reviewer mentioned that this lost the charm of the TV show ... I'm oblivious to that and maybe that helped me enjoying the movie.

Also the fact that going into this, I thought it would be horrible (why would I watch it then? Ask me something I can answer) ... and then it wasn't. Apart from a couple of known actors and faces, this was very well played. And it has quite the fine production values. All the acting is or goes along the with the story and the tone the movie sets. It really is well made and played. That may sound like something obvious, but unfortunately with spoofs and silly comedies, that isn't the case! The opposite is mostly true, especially when it comes to the more recent ones. The flavor of classics like Airplane! and others seems to have been lost ... and found here in a way! Not calling this a classic, but it is refreshing and good to see some quality spoofing, with good dialog, while still maintaining the ridiculous low brow humor ...
