good low budget silly comedy time travel from NZ
Push the button
John (Anton Tennet) is a low-level criminal who lacks a set. He works for Shelton (Jonny Brugh) and likes his sister (Hetty Gaskell-Hahn). John robs a Chinese antique store operating as a front and also grabs a time travel bracelet. While being drowned by his own gang for keeping the money, John pushed the button on the bracelet and travels back in time two minutes and creates a duplicate of himself. Eventually, the duplicates form a gang hunted by Taotie, the time travel demon.
While I tend to love New Zealand humor, this one didn't grab me. Other than people acting like idiots, the story lacked a decent plot.
F-word. No sex or nudity.
Time Conundrum
Or whatever you want to call it. It's actually a high concept idea movie. Where the idea kind of carries the whole movie. You'll either down with that or you are not. Now sense it does not make ... at least not that much. And the tone switches from funny to dark and back again. Not really consistent then. But maybe that is not something you care.
And if you really want to have fun with this, you better not. It's easy to digest overall. Crazy overall but not so crazy you can't follow it (no pun intended). So depending on how serious you'll take the whole thing, the fun you will have (or not) will vary ...
