Hmm curious about this but the production doesn't look as flashy as I would've wanted it?

I read some reviews that said the set design and cinematography were really basic given what the subject matter/potential.

Yeah I'm even thinking back to tv movie from the 90s and it's somewhat similar but I feel like the lighting was at least better in the tv version 90s.

The fact they're releasing the trailer less than a month before it comes out also makes me sus for some reason LOL. But yes, the TIFF reviews were very meh - not bad, not great, just in the middle. Someone described it as something the substitute teacher puts on during a history class (but there is a full frontal male nudity scene at least so with that edited out LOL).

These reviews seem pretty accurate lol.

this was exactly my thoughts and also it looks kind of funny? like Ralph just wandering around half naked refusing to go back home is kind of cracking me up
