The Drug Deal (A Covid-19 Comedy)

About This Movie

So, 'The Drug Deal' is an odd little gem from 2021 that tries to tackle the pandemic with a comedic twist. It centers around Gary, this family-man, navigating the chaos of lockdown while his love for gangsta flicks and westerns seeps into his everyday life. The tone feels like a mix between a light-hearted sitcom and that peculiar surrealism we all felt during lockdown. The pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes it drags in the middle, but those moments of levity do shine through. The performances, while not groundbreaking, carry a certain charm, almost like you’re watching a friend’s home video. There's an interesting exploration of family dynamics amidst turmoil that gives it some depth. Plus, it’s cool to see how they cleverly use practical effects to accentuate the absurdity of the times.
