TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 7 The 2021 adaptation of Rock Paper Scissors feels like a wasted opportunity that leans on the name of a childhood game without understanding what makes that concept fun or engaging. Instead of using the simple idea as a creative springboard, the movie comes across as confused about its own identity, unsure if it wants to be a comedy, a drama, or some strange hybrid of both. The tone is inconsistent from start to finish, making it hard to connect with the story or the characters in any meaningful way. What should have been playful or clever instead feels flat, awkward, and strangely lifeless. The writing feels directionless, as if the screenplay never fully decided what kind of movie it wanted to be. Rather than feeling like a smart parody or inventive spin, it plays like a hollow imitation of better films. By the end, the experience feels forgettable, unfunny, and ultimately unnecessary.

OK, that's what I'll do. See more 09/20/2021 Pre-teens may find it funny, but it was so painfully bad that I couldn't finish it. Low budget, bad acting, poorly written; a complete mess. Not anywhere near Superbad or other good movies this was compared to in other reviews. Are the good reviews real? See more 07/28/2021 A new kid in a new school befriends other outcasts and unwittingly gets mixed up in the no holds barred, surprisingly spirited world of professional Rock Paper Scissors. It's expletive laced, at times gross, potty humor abundant, and strangely...heartfelt. There's no denying the base teen comedy side of the film but the directors explore the very real mindset of teens growing up in a still mostly unplugged type of 90s era. However, I find what's most interesting is not what comes out of the characters' mouths so much as what comes from their fragility, and how anchoring that to anything tangible (even something as ridiculous as Rock Paper Scissors) can give anyone a sense of purpose. See more 07/27/2021 What a refreshing time warp back to the 90s style comedy. The film hits a very unique note similar to Napoleon Dynamite but where that film went for subtlety, these characters go for glory. The dialogue slices sharply and the plot moves like a freight train, never stopping, until the credits roll. See more 07/26/2021 Great movie! Fun comedy that follows a group of guys that are trying to win the Rock Paper Scissors championship, along the way they get into all kinds of trouble, there is a scene where they have to go to an underground game of RPS and it gets intense, another funny scene involves an old corvette and a prank gone bad, has a big finale that was really good. Recommend for sure. See more Read all reviews
