Review:
Sid is Dead was an impulsive selection on Amazon Prime. Another "background movie" while working out. Ultimately, Sid is Dead is the perfect film for this situation. It is exactly what you think it will be from the trailer...and weirdly, nothing is wrong with that.
The film is super cliche and predictable. In many ways, it's highly formulaic as we've seen these high school coming-of-age, social climb and fall with lesson-learned movies. Sid is Dead is just that.
The wacky characters and lines throughout the film keep the film decent and engaging. Especially those between Jim and Luna.
The bullying aspect is a little weird, but overall, this film is ehhh. Watch if you need some filler. Good enough to entertain. Not good enough to really seek it out. But again, it won't disappoint.
Grade: 2.25/5
