Costly mishaps and misadventures hamper two quarreling brothers' mission to renovate and flip the lake house they inherited from their recently deceased father.

In general, the film feels like all setup and no punch line.

Even when bits go thud, there's a brittle, unsentimental wit about kin's inexplicable tug that's hard to ignore, and the leads - game for some surprisingly sublime bits of physical comedy - eventually wear one's anti-charm defenses down.

The interactions of the two leads are like a finger hitting a single piano note for 90 minutes.

C-

Despite some promise, so much is left unexplained or unpacked and it fails to deliver.

... manages an effective mix of slapstick and sentiment that can't quite sustain itself at feature length.

2.5/5

While this sibling comedy makes some sharp observations about the push and pull of family relationships, it's also one of those deliberately wacky movies that wears us out with nonstop gags that are utterly unconvincing.

Watching brothers fight for the entire show - no thank you. Zahn McClarnon credited but does not appear in the show (just a thank you listed in the credits so assumed his role was cut).

Had a few laughs and being from the filming location, I had fun watching for local landmarks.

A few laughs in and that's about all there is to it. Awful Nice is pointless as there's no resolution after its boring runtime.

Total garbage. You watch 5 mins and you seen the whole film. Its just a broken record of the same joke over and over. Feels like a boring home movie of 2 brothers getting into fist fights, breaking things, and acting like a 5 year old. Not a single actor in the film makes their character believable or makes us care at all about them. I give it props for being an independent, but I am amazed anyone put money into this project.

I was quite amused with this little gem. The first half is much funnier than the second. Overall, still worth the watch. How did this movie get such a low rating?
