Grow (2025)

The idea must have been quite funny during the planning phase.

But it just really doesn't come out. Really not, not halfway, not not completely, but just really not at all. And it's already quite an indicator when the best jokes pass by side in half a frame next to the title roll.

And now that I'm on the subject, if you still have something to say during the title sequence, then your film just doesn't make sense. If you feel that urge creeping up on you anyway, don't finish your film, but embark on a long voyage or something; then you'll actually see something of the world, and the rest of humanity won't have to put up with you. Thanks to my teacher at the technical college back in the day, who used that as his opening speech for Tuesday morning class, for twenty-five weeks straight. Of the thirty in the class—I've lost count of how many ended up at the neighboring maritime academy. And whether they might be better off than me. That alone makes this an incredibly bad film. Come on, Frost, find your buddy again and do something fun, instead of this piece of garbage.
