manofbusiness Review of Candy Land

Candy Land (2022)

This movie sucks you in and spits you out and then you hate it.

[3/10 · 21 April 2023]

So, this movie was somewhat intriguing in the beginning but then it just takes a complete disastrous turn right in the middle of the movie. I have no problems giving spoiler alerts on this, it doesn't deserve to even be a movie. I give it a three because the actors were actually really good for completely unknowns. Unfortunately, whoever wrote this trash wanted to intrigue you in the beginning and then destroy your dreams of it being actually good movie. So to begin with my first red flag was the fact that it's supposedly 1994. They should have just ditched the whole idea of era setting. First mistake that you see is a truck that most definitely came out in the later 2000s. Then when they flash money twice the bills are big faces which did not exist in 1994. They didn't start changing the money until closer to 2000 and that was the $100 bill to have the first big face. They show a $10 bill and a $20 bill both colored and big face and most definitely from the later years of the early 2000s. After that the seemingly naive religious cult psychopath bi*** starts murdering everybody with no rhyme or reason at all except for she's cleansing them. Remy deceives everyone into thinking they can trust her just to kill them. In the beginning of the movie you get somewhat involved with the characters and you're really just pitying them the whole time for making these choices to turn a truck stop into a brothel. It's sad because these places actually exist. Remy basically murders everyone that you get involved with in the movie except for Rex the crooked sheriff because Remy then commits suicide right as he's about to shoot her. Bottom line don't waste your time with this movie you will be angry at yourself for even watching it and getting involved you'll be angry at Remy you may start shouting at the TV. I'm a sane person for the most part and I found myself angry at Remy. The only redeeming Factor about this is that the actors are good and I hope they get better roles than this trashy horrible story. If this was a true story it may be considerably watchable and then extremely sad as you realize that this actually happened. It's basically like watching Charles Manson kill people in a religious cult only it's Remy. That's my take, definitely take it into consideration before you watch it or don't please don't.
