Movers Ultimate (2022)

Auteur Ben Rood (as both Director & Writer) appears to have been aiming for a raunchier version of FRIENDS, but ended up with something more like an edgier version of BREAKFAST CLUB. Nothing can change the fact that this is, and always will be, a low-budget indie. But, within that select niche, it sets a nice pace off the top and maintains it throughout. The leads definitely have “bro” chemistry, the rest of the cast is somewhat less reliable. There are moments — too many — when you get the feeling that Rood made this entire project happen just to show off his script. Which, to be fair, is definitely a cut above.
