“For The Weekend” (*1/2 out of four) was a dismal story about a group of estranged friends (Tommy Bechtold, Ashley Haden, Zach Hardy, and others) who try to repair and re-establish their relationships by renting a remote desert home for one of their birthdays but things change when one of them disappears and all their suspicions soon come to the surface. Can’t decide whether it’s a mystery, a character melodrama, or a “Hangover”-like comedy and thus fails at all of them since none of the characters or likeable or entertaining. Film’s climax is particularly dumb but at least it’s over soon afterwards.
