Vince is going through a divorce. He’s not taking it too
well, so his mates decide to confiscate him and bring him to another town for a
fun and wild time. Although the town is said to be inhabited by a lot of hot
women, they find it practically deserted upon arrival.
This wasn’t exact the least predictable movie I’ve ever
seen. The majority of the parts that were supposed to make me jump didn’t even
make me blink. In a full-on horror movie that would make me roll my eyes and
fight to stay awake, but “Doghouse” had such a comedic core to it that I spent
most of the time rolling. This movie is what happens when you mix “Shaun of the
Dead” and the original “Evil Dead.” Both of those are movies that I love, so it
should come as no shock that I loved this one, too.
The script was hilarious and there was a part of me that
kept viewing Noel Clarke in this film as his part from Doctor Who. The
characters were pretty similar and even their names made it difficult not to
think back (Mikey vs. Mickey). As much as I loved it, though, there was a
certain undertone of misogyny. Ok, it wasn’t an undertone. It was so in my face
that I feel guilty for loving it.
“Doghouse” was trashy, sexist, horrible and so funny that my
sides hurt.
Netflix’s Prediction for Me – 3.7/5
Overall Opinion – 3.5/5
The Random Rating:
R – for strong violence
