“We need to handle this…”

Sheroes released on Demand on July 7th 2023. The action-comedy film stars Sasha Luss, Wallis Day, Skai Jackson, and Isabelle Fuhrman. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes.

Four friends take a trip to Thailand, but when one of their bags gets mixed up, they find themselves in a world of trouble.

Here is the trailer:

Sheroes is a mix of Spring Breakers and Charlie’s Angels with girl power to the extreme, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Pretty to look at…

From the cast, to the setting, to the aesthetically pleasing cinematography…everything is just bright and lovely to watch. I loved some of the fashion choices and that car was to die for…

The girls give it their all…

While some of the acting was severely lacking, I thought that our main stars put forth a valiant effort here and did the best with what they were given. They embraced the brainless, silly fun and just went with it.

If you don’t try to make sense of any of this, it is actually kind of entertaining once you get past the opening. Some of the action and fight sequences were enjoyable and I started to like the characters more as the movie continued.

The Cons:

Rocky start…

This movie was really tough to watch for the first thirty minutes. It was basically just a mash-up of tropes, clichés, and utter nonsense. Luckily things improved when we got to the action parts, but the set-up was so ridiculous and unbelievable.

I’m not sure if this film was trying to be a parody, but a lot of the humor didn’t land for me and whenever the girls started to quote or reference good action movies, it just made this film seem shallow in comparison.

I’m all for girl power and I’ll even go with the ridiculous notion that one knows how to handle a kidnapping situation when their dad makes action films, but a lot of this was pretty painful to sit through.

Just try not to think about it and it does get kind of entertaining as it continues, however…

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

This film was far from perfect and really ridiculous at times, but it did have some fun moments. As long as you don’t try to follow any kind of logic, you’ll have a decent time watching it.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
