Eric s Apr 15 Very amateurish with much of the movie looking like it saw filmed on a smart phone. The movie is a Smokey and the Bandit rip off with coping dialogue sometimes word for word with some of the same stunts copied. The special effects are so bad their funny and the actors were from amateur night at the local community club. If you take a lot of drugs you might enjoy this movie but for people with IQs over room temp stay away and remember this movie makes the original look like a academy award winner. A more appropriate title would be Piss on it. See more Gabriel M @Anonymous12 01/31/2025 I recently came across Stand on It! On YouTube, and although I didn't sit through the entire movie, I saw enough while skipping through scenes to get a solid impression-and unfortunately, it wasn't a good one. Right away, the film's production quality is distracting. The camera work is subpar and often feels shaky and amateurish, like it was shot on a low-end device. It doesn't resemble something ready for release-more like a rough first cut or a student project. Even more jarring were the clear signs of green screen usage in certain scenes. These moments completely pulled me out of the viewing experience and made the film feel even more cheaply made. There may have been some low-budget CGI involved too, which only adds to the artificial, unpolished atmosphere. The storytelling is hard to follow-not just because I skipped around, but because the narrative feels disjointed even in the scenes I did watch. It lacks flow and cohesion, making it tough to care about what's going on. There's no real charm or wit, which makes this especially disappointing for a movie that's meant to pay tribute to the 1977 classic Smokey and the Bandit. Speaking of tribute, the characters here fall completely flat when compared to their iconic counterparts. Tim Phillips, who plays the Bandit-like role, does give a somewhat decent performance. He has a bit of screen presence and occasionally channels the charisma you'd expect from a Bandit figure, so I'll give him that. But the Sheriff Bufford T. Justice character-originally made legendary by Jackie Gleason-is a major letdown. Matthew Cutter's portrayal lacks Gleason's over-the-top energy, and his accent doesn't come close. It's a failed imitation of a larger-than-life character, and it stands out in all the wrong ways. As someone who loves the original Smokey and the Bandit, this film felt more like a parody gone wrong than a genuine homage. It doesn't capture the excitement, humor, or heart that made the 1977 film so memorable. If anything, it undermines the legacy with a lazy, thrown-together effort. It's honestly kind of funny that Universal Pictures hasn't taken any legal action-maybe they saw Stand on It! For what it is: a harmless, low-budget imitation that poses no threat to the original's legacy. In that sense, ignoring it might be the wisest move they could make. If you're a diehard fan of the original and are hoping to relive the fun, I'd recommend steering clear of this one. Unless you're morbidly curious or in the mood to see how not to do a tribute, there's really no reason to spend your time on Stand on It! See more Read all reviews
