The Estate: Adultish Comedy

Movie Review: The Estate (2022) on Hulu and Prime Video 👎

I find The Estate, rated R, gross humor with explicit sexual situations and rampant foul language. Definitely not for the whole family. (See movie trailer below.)

    Two sisters with a failing low-end restaurant on the wrong side of the tracks (it literally sits on the dilapidated side of the railroad tracks) rush to the side of their dying aunt's side in the hope of earning the inheritance of her estate. However, they find when they get there they aren't the only ones vying for the huge prize. Everyone has something at stake and no one is about to give up as the battle to win as the aunt's favorite relative heats up. Cast of very strange characters, none in the family with socially redeeming qualities.

    Not a bad cast, but it seems like a waste of their talents. Some laughs, if you can get past the awkwardness of some of the situations and the language. I'm not a prude, but this goes overboard.

    Not surprising, The Estate grossed very poorly worldwide, according to IMDb.com. I'd skip it.
