 I'm just gonna come right out and say it the invitation sucks. I know it's not because it's a vampire movie It's genuinely a piece of shit When I first saw the trailer for the invitation, I thought this looks kind of compelling interesting Mysterious, how is this young woman gonna get out of this situation after seeing the movie? It turns out the answer was right in front of her face all along. She should have used basic common sense I don't honestly know where to begin with this. What Sheila? Oh Sheila has an invitation for you. Oh, that's fun It's to subscribe to the channel Adam does movies because I post tons of movie reviews each and every week on this show And I'm a one-man operation with no budget. So the least you could do is subscribe here. Keep me going I mean, this isn't an invitation. We this is a bill This is a this is a monthly statement for my internet That's depressing Natalie Emmanuel plays one of my favorite Pokemon characters Evie She works a dead-end job in New York and can't pay her rent She has no money no prospects no ring on that finger and an annoying friend who wants to take a gene test to see if maybe There's someone in the family that has some money to give her that's not why they do it But that ends up being kind of a convenient thing for her because as a matter of fact She is related to a very wealthy family in Europe She doesn't know these people but she put herself out there and went to meet her cousin for a nice $200 lunch on her budget of $0 that just makes sense to be fair I'm sure the cousin picked up the tab because he was very willing to pay for her to fly out to Europe to go to a wedding This is where red flags start to come up and common sense goes completely out the window for Evie. She decides on a whim Yeah, what the hell I have nothing to lose. Let's go to Europe. I mean, what's the worst that could happen It's not like there's a major sex trade going on right where they take young women in the prime of their lives pull Them across the country and well, yeah, that's not the case for Evie though things are far worse But not right away and by right away. I mean the first hour and 15 minutes of this film Nothing happens. This is some slow roll boring shit and I had to sit there and take it If you're an unironic fan of twilight and an even bigger fan of 50 shades of gray You're gonna love the invitation. It takes the worst parts of both of those film franchises Squeezes them into one shitfest of a film Thomas Dougherty plays gray. I mean Edward I mean Walter a billionaire that has nothing but time on his hands to devote to our young Evie Make her feel special like a real woman It's every teenage girl and middle-aged women's fantasy to be swept off their feet Taken into the countryside where they're showered with praises and gifts and people Waiting on them hand and foot and they even get to feel like Cinderella have a dress made for them love letters on the pillows It's all here in the invitation. You know what's not here fucking vampires We have like 20 minutes of vampire stuff to make matters worse. This movie's PG 13 So if you liked 50 shades of gray for the soft-core porn You're not getting that if you like twilight for the occasional action scene and some blood not really getting that either Not until the way end what you get here is a lot of Evie wandering around the castle grounds like Belle trying to figure out What the beast is up to except for in that case that movie's charming whimsical and magical. This is none of those either this is dry boring dull Lifeless and has nothing really a value to say or offer to the audience yet it went to theaters Because Sony the king of fucking bad movies is bringing another one your way. Let's talk pros Natalie Emanuel Beautiful beautiful woman. She's giving me shades of Jessica Alba. I mean, what do you want me to say? Genetics did her well. That's it for the pros. We're done. The cons are pretty much everything else Remember that dinner scene in the trailer where everybody's holding the masks up and they're doing the stupid thing with their fingers Like they're holding up the Hunger Games symbol for the mockingjay. That's here for that one scene and never again We don't even really know what it means doesn't matter. Why were they even wearing the masks? Who fucking knows? Evie's supposed to be going to this place for a wedding yet. She never sees the bride or groom I'm supposed to be rooting for Evie, but she's a dumbass. She's late on her rent payments So what does she do blows out a dodge? Apparently she doesn't have a job to worry about She's in wine country for a week or so. How am I supposed to relate to you Evie? I guess I'm not I'm not the young girls that were sitting a couple rows back giggling Owing an eye in the whole film like are they gonna kiss? Is he gonna stick it in her? I can't wait. I can't wait either for this movie to be over to make matters worse You can't even really laugh at this film until the final act There's just nothing happening at all to make fun of and then we see some CG fire Comical special effects terrible action scenes that don't last very long and yeah, I got a chuckle out of that. That was fun That was fine, but again short-lived I would rather watch Halle Berry's cat woman because I'm laughing my ass off from beginning to end here though I'm getting nothing but bored. I'm out of it, and I have no clue what dumbass over at Sony decided in their Infinite wisdom to give this a PG-13 rating But man was that the bad call a film above vampires who are creepy and suck blood and Kill and maim and do all sorts of gross crap. You're gonna give me a PG-13 on that So anytime there is a murder it's off-camera or it's just a quick cliched pull away into the shadows She goes under the bed at one point. I knew exactly what they're gonna do We've seen it 45 times already. She's gonna crawl towards it. Stop look around and then go backwards I didn't see it in the trailer, but I bet it is in the trailer I bet it's in the trailer part of me wants to spoil the ending But another part of me says who cares Adam they shouldn't see this film and if they do that's their own fault So I won't it's dumb. That's it. It's dumb whole movies dumb. Don't see it Don't watch it don't think about it ever again, and it'll go away. We don't want sequels to this I can tell you that much right now. I don't need a 50 shades of twilight. Well, there you have it My thoughts in another Sony gem the invitation rip that thing up throw it away Don't even think about it accepting that invite. Don't RSVP to this wedding if you unfortunately were like me and already attended I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below Did you have those early warning signs that I did that this blushing bride wasn't meant to walk down the aisle?
