‘Challengers’ Review
Fat Guys Network
04/26/24 • 1 min
Rated R
Opens: April 26, 2024
Kevin says Challengers SUCKS!
The new film CHALLENGERS asks the question: Can tennis be sexy?
The answer – at least how it’s presented her – is a resounding NO... Unless you want to be visibly drenched in flop sweat from the actors on a 30-foot tall screen.
The story examines the relationship between three tennis phenoms over the course of thirteen years and their passion for each other and the game itself.
Alas, the characters are all shallow, despicable, and thoroughly unlikeable. But even worse, the film is plain boring. It doesn’t matter how much pulsing pop music you blast on the court.
Still boring.
The film’s success depends on how much of an actual movie star leading lady Zendaya is. It’s so desperate for this that the advertising implies some pretty intense moments.
Sorry guys. None of it actually pays off. We’re left with a feature-length version of a jewelry ad with attractive but utterly vapid people wandering in confusion.
Die hard tennis fans may like this, but it’s a double fault for me.
CHALLENGERS gets 1 1/2 tennis balls out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ Review
Fat Guys Network
03/08/24 • 1 min
Rated PG
Opens: March 8, 2024
Kevin says KUNG FU PANDA 4 Kinda rocks!
After a successful trilogy, DreamWorks brings another installment of the unlikely Dragon Warrior. The aptly named KUNG FU PANDA 4 follows Po as he battles a new villain, a shape-shifting sorcerer seeking the powers of the kung fu masters.
The first Kung Fu Panda was a pleasant surprise, and the sequels have been decent continuations of the one-joke story. This series manages to juggle the new characters picked up along the way, making it better than most for a fourth film.
The cast is good led by an always energetic Jack Black, with Bryan Cranston and James Hong showing a surprising amount of chemistry. However, Akwafina is a bit overexposed right now and wore on my nerves.
The animation continues to impress with slick anime-inspired action elements. And all the cuddly animal characters make it a good bet for families.
Still, the premise is a bit of a stretch this time around... and that’s saying something for a series based on a fat panda who learns kung fu. I’m not sure how many more of these the studio can milk out of the idea, but this one remains clever and fun.
KUNG FU PANDA 4 gets three dumplings out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

‘Dune Part Two’ Review
Fat Guys Network
03/01/24 • 1 min
Rated PG
Opens: March 1, 2024
Kevin says Dune Part Two ROCKS!
Denis Villeneuve finishes his epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel with DUNE: PART TWO.
The story picks right up from the previous film. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) have fled to the desert to join the nomadic Fremen. There, Paul concentrates his power as a potential messiah while planning to overthrow the evil Harkonnens.
Most of my complaints about the previous film have been improved. There’s greater character development, and the diversity of the different worlds is explored... though it still seems the furniture comes from the same Galactic Ikea, no matter the planet.
Most important, this completes a story that was merely set up three years ago. This is why I despise the trend of two-part adaptations. Sure, it generates more cash, but it results in awkward pacing.
This version of DUNE is epic and has scope, and Villeneuve loosened the reins a bit. Though he doesn’t go gloriously off the rails like David Lynch did in the 80s.
This film manages to capture what was once considered unfilmable. And it mitigates a minefield of triggering topics like conspiracies, religion, terrorism, war, and desert politics.
DUNE: PART TWO gets four sandworms out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

‘Mean Girls’ Review
Fat Guys Network
01/18/24 • 1 min
Rated PG-13
Opens: January 12, 2024
Kevin says Mean Girls kinda rocks!
After twenty years, MEAN GIRLS is making its way back to the big screen, this time as an adaptation of the Broadway musical.
The story follows a home-schooled girl who has her first taste of public high school. She befriends the popular clique but soon learns these girls can be... well, downright mean.
The production is bright, vibrant and colorful, and the song and dance numbers are impressive for their creativity... though at times they threaten to overshadow the story.
This version seems more of a tribute to the original film than a remake or adaptation. The film is fraught with cliches and tropes that have become far too routine in films lately.
The updates pander to the social media generation, considering none of these platforms even existed in 2004. If I have to sit through another TIkTok montage in a high school comedy, I’m gonna lose it.
In the end, MEAN GIRLS is entertaining enough, and it should land well with its target audience. Though I’m doubtful if this will form a new clique. It will likely just be remembered as secondary to the original.
MEAN GIRLS gets three and a half pink sweaters out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

“Speak No Evil” Movie Review
Fat Guys Network
09/14/24 • 1 min
Rated R
Opens: September 13, 2024
Kevin says Speak No Evil kinda sucks!
Hollywood’s remake for this week offers a new presentation of a Danish thriller from two years ago.
SPEAK NO EVIL follows an American family who befriend a couple while on vacation in Italy. Weeks later, they accept an invitation to visit the couple at their out-of-the-way farmhouse. However, warning signs begin to mount, and the family realizes they might never escape.
The film is competently made with a healthy dose of suspense and atmosphere. And acting from James McAvoy as one of the antagonists is unsettling and nuanced.
However, this family in danger comprises some of the most insufferable and clueless people imaginable. I mean, it’s like a whole family of Skylars from BREAKING BAD.
Even if the trailers weren’t so loaded with spoilers that you could walk in on the third act and still be able to predict what will happen next, the action retreads so many other similar films that it just feels stale.
I love a good thriller, and there is one hiding in this movie. But to fully enjoy it, you kind of have to have never seen a movie like it before.
SPEAK NO EVIL gets two creepy couples out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” Movie Review
Fat Guys Network
06/07/24 • -1 min
Rated R
Opens: June 7, 2024
Kevin says Bad Boys: Ride or Die kinda sucks!
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as wise-cracking Miami detectives in a new BAD BOYS movie.
The story follows the buddy cop duo facing midlife crises at home and getting framed as cartel operatives.
Fans of the BAD BOYS movies should enjoy this because it has all the expected elements: from explosive action and dripping machismo to sports car product placement and drawn-out comedic moments. I suppose that’s what you get with a generation of filmmakers who grew up on a diet of Michael Bay movies.
The problem with this film is its utter lack of originality. I know buddy cop films rely on formula, but there wasn’t even an attempt to put an original spin on things. We are left with a cliché smoothie of a plot interspersed with out-of-place comedy where Martin Lawrence seems to be auditioning for a new sit-com.
Everything from the worn-out dialogue tropes to Will Smith’s Tommy Wisseau dye job makes this movie feel like a relic of the 90s that should be called BAD MIDDLE-AGED GUYS.
BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE gets two Oscar slaps out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
