  1. Afterlife of the Party: It has its moments but mostly pretty average@netflixr1740d

    I don't really know how to categorize this film. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a spiritual film? Is it a film made for teenagers? Was it trying to be a tear-jerker?

    The film succeeds in being relatively entertaining but I really feel as though they could have done a lot more with this than they did and overall parts of it were unrealistic even for something that obviously is fiction anyway.

    So the story begins with rather self-absorbed "Cassie" who is celebrating her birthday week (not just a day) and making herself the center of attention and well, acting like a diva at multiple venues. Her roommate, Lisa, has been friend with her for her entire life but is a bit more serious about having a professional future. Cassie is more of a live in the now type person and parties like crazy.

    During one of the party nights in the week that Cassie has dubbed "Cassie-Palooza" Lisa encourages Cassie to call it a night but Cassie ignores her advice and is actually kind of mean to her. Cassie proceeds to stay out all night and then in a drunken stupor falls in the bathroom at her own apartment, hits her head and dies.

    We are spared any sort of gore because this is clearly meant to be an all-ages movie or at the maximum PG-13.

    When Cassie wakes up she is in a purgatory of sorts and is met by a temporary guardian angel who has told her that she has unfinished business on earth and that her future has not yet been determined by the "board" about whether she is going "up" or "down" which is presumed to mean heaven or hell.

    So Cassie has a certain amount of time in order to "right some wrongs" on earth but it isn't made clear to her what those wrongs are nor what she has to do in order to fix them. Now this is where I start nitpicking the inconsistencies in the film. Most people can not see her because she is a spirit, but animals and certain children can see her and so can her roommate Lisa but no one else can. She also can touch and move things despite not being of the material world but only when other people aren't around and only certain things.

    I know that the entire story isn't meant to be super plausible anyway, but things like this bother me.

    Cassie routinely goes through various crises because she doesn't know how she is going to communicate which some particular person but she is complaining about her inability to talk to other people on earth to the one person that can hear her. Seems to me like this would have a pretty easy solution but they never utilize it.

    So the underlying tale of someone dying prematurely and being able to interact with the people that were close to her in her life after her death is an interesting concept and I really feel like a lot more could be done with this. There were a couple of times that i got teary-eyed so you could say that most of the actors are pretty decent but there are a few people, most notably the people who play Cassie's mother and father, that are pretty poor actors and were a bad selection. Consequently their IRL names are Adam and Gloria Garcia but as far as I can tell they are not related or married.

    Should I watch it?

    I'm not a teenager but I try to relate to all manner of films regardless of what the target audience is so I gave this one a chance even though the trailer makes it pretty evident that they were looking for a teenage / young adult audience with this. It is technically classified as a comedy but I wouldn't say that I found very much of it to be funny either. Parts of it were endearing and entertaining but a lot of it is pretty cringe as well. I dunno, I suppose for the right person that has the correct amount of boredom in their lives this could be worth it, for others it's gonna be too predictable, inconsistent, and corny.

    I don't normally put numbers on things but I would probably give this a 5 / 10 because it was entertaining in the end.

  2. Más allá de la fiesta/ Afterlife of the party (2021) – Netflix@hectorsanchez181759d

    # Hola Comunidad!!

    El día de hoy les quiero platicar sobre una película que tiene poco que se estrenó en Netflix, Más allá de la fiesta, estelarizada por Victoria Justice es un “dramedy” que, aunque es muy cliché, tocará fibras sensibles dentro de tu ser, al menos para mi así fue, ya que plantea la pregunta: ¿Qué harías si tuvieras la oportunidad de arreglar las cosas con tus seres queridos después de tu partida?


    Hello Community !! Today I want to talk to you about a film that has recently been released on Netflix, Afterlife of the Party, starring Victoria Justice is a "dramedy" that, although it is very cliché, will touch-sensitive fibers within your being, less for me it was since it raises the question: What would you do if you had the opportunity to fix things with your loved ones after your departure?

    Una de las cosas más difíciles cuando tenemos una perdida es aceptar que las cosas ya no serán y que no hay un final de televisión, todo queda inconcluso, muchas promesas sin cumplir, muchas charlas que jamás se darán y ese sentimiento te acompañará por el resto de tu vida.

    One of the most difficult things when we have a loss is to accept that things will no longer be and that there is no television finale, everything remains unfinished, many unfulfilled promises, many talks that will never be given and that feeling will accompany you for the rest of your life.

    Bueno, pues esto mismo le pasa a Cassie, una adolescente fiestera y alocada que es rebelde con su padre una noche sale de fiesta el día de su cumpleaños para encontrar la muerte en el baño de la fiesta. Siendo su partida tan abrupta, sus seres queridos se ven muy afectados lo que los sumerge en un estado de letargo y depresión.

    Well, the same thing happens to Cassie, a wild and partying teenager who is rebellious with her father one night she goes out to party on her birthday to find her dead in the party bathroom. His departure being so abrupt, his loved ones are greatly affected, which plunges them into a state of lethargy and depression.

    Cassie llega a un lugar parecido al limbo, dónde no puede subir ni bajar hasta que arregle sus asuntos pendientes en la tierra, por lo que le dan la oportunidad de regresar en forma de espíritu para poner las cosas en orden y borrar sus nombres de la lista que la mantiene en el limbo, pero nada es tan fácil como parece, ya que los humanos no la pueden ver ni oír y tiene un tiempo límite para lograr su cometido o perderá todo el avance y bajará al nivel B.

    Cassie arrives at a place similar to limbo, where she cannot go up or down until she fixes her unfinished business on earth, so she is given the opportunity to return in spirit form to put things in order and erase their names from the list that keeps her in limbo, but nothing is as easy as it seems, since humans cannot see or hear her and she has a time limit to achieve her mission or she will lose all progress and go down to level B.

    En general la película tiene una comedia ligera que comparte lugares comunes con muchas otras de su tipo, lo más rescatable es el final cuando viene la reivindicación y la forma en que a través de su mejor amiga comienza a conectar y entender a sus padres, la manera en que entiende que su perspectiva no es la única y que los problemas tienen más de una cara. La escena final dónde abraza a su padre para despedirse, ese último adiós me parece la parte más enternecedora de la película ya que muchos quisiéramos esa oportunidad del último abrazo.

    In general, the film has a light comedy that shares common places with many others of its kind, the most redeemable thing is the end when the vindication comes and the way in which through her best friend she begins to connect and understand her parents, the way in which you understand that your perspective is not the only one and that problems have more than one face. In the final scene where he hugs his father to say goodbye, that last goodbye seems to be the most touching part of the film since many of us would like that last hug opportunity.
