Movie

I, Challenger

2022 · 101 min

A goofy, low-stakes caper that coasts on absurd schemes and stoner charm, easy to watch but rarely memorable.

Tagline: Lookin' for luck, high and low.
Overview: Sid, a perennial kid who spends his days playing video games and selling weed, is about to be evicted. Desperate to change his life, he enlists his gaming buddy Logan in a dangerous, harebrained scheme involving the livestream of a self-burial video. Despite a near-death experience when the self-burial misfires, it seems Sid's luck is finally on the upswing, with a financial windfall -- and even a romance -- in his future.
How it feels: Absurd, light, cynical and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, survival, friendship, identity
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
