Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

'Bodies Bodies Bodies' surprised me a little. I didn't think early on that it was going to lead to much enjoyment, though by the time the credits rolled around I had had fun with it. The story is a good one, the twist(s) are satisfying enough. The cast are also excellent.
Everyone onscreen worked for me. Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova and Rachel Sennott stick out, though Myha'la, Chase Sui Wonders, Pete Davidson and Lee Pace aren't majorly far off. Their characters, if not bad, aren't actually as great, so credit to the actors for elevating their roles.
94 minutes was the perfect run time, any longer then I think it may have dragged quite a bit. Thankfully, it didn't. This is, of course, not to state it's an absolutely perfect movie, for example it does overcome some low-quality dialogue, but in terms of entertainment I got what I wanted.

**Bodies Bodies Bodies is filled with neurotic, selfish, and annoying characters that find a way to make a killer in their midst aggravating and tiresome.**
I spent the entire runtime of Bodies Bodies Bodies wondering why this movie was so well received and highly rated. The plot doesn’t kick in until around halfway through, and the audience is left to endure young 20-somethings complaining, making out, and wondering why the world didn’t revolve around them for 45 minutes. The weak dialogue is dreadful to the point of making me wonder if any of it was actually written or just ad-libbed. Unfortunately, once the bodies start dropping, even the mystery of a vicious murderer plays the background to the self-absorbed spoiled brats whining and spilling each other’s secrets. At one point, the story attempts to shoehorn the murderer killing the victims in the order of the game, but even the characters in the movie don’t buy it. The cast does a convincing job of portraying a bunch of immature narcissists reacting to such a high-stress situation. I was so bored and disappointed until the final 3 minutes. The final twist is unique and entertaining but wasn’t worth the trash that had to be tolerated for an hour and a half to get there.
