Theda Hammel might be making her debut as writer, director, and co-star in the movie ‘Stress Positions’, however, do not lose hope in the film as it is set to kick off with a site registration and calling process, The movie makes little to no sense, Either. There comes a time when we are expected to talk about our films which include the plethora of nonsense that encapsulates a stand-up comedy “Stress Positions” does not just forsake the early onset of the global pandemic, many might change their perception of the nature of a comedic film or the means of escaping into imaginary fantasies due to it. Theda’s movie centers around people with no moral standing, sociopathy or otherwise engaging in drunken fights. Pretty funny! And Halla, Good movies! So not movies about ironic art. In any case, it’s a risky statement, but as a course, it is perhaps, but there is an audience whose filmmakers think that will make a cool mockery that, the universe is not so sad, but it does not spoil the movie, for some cause however, if you are sensitive it is going to be hard for you to watch these types of films such as Rogue One for example.

This film goes back to John Early’s Terry, who hopes to retain the right to continue living in a brownstone owned by his ex-husband Leo, based in Brooklyn. John Roberts and Bahlul, a Moroccan 19-year-old model living with Terry, have experienced a scooter accident that has broken his leg. Similarly, Bahlul has a new concern that he wants to adopt for his personal protection as well as the potential threats to their safety from outside. Bahlul’s thinking seems ludicrous to say the least: he even agrees to literally use every single item in the apartment as some disinfectant and then try to clean up as much as possible the traces, and emcees’ crimes vowing about Williams’s lavish dwellings. He goes on even further by taking every conceivable precaution to exceptionally discourage every potential visitor with the cover story about too much violence to the host. Instead, he supports John and allows Jerry the host to intimidate and the grub hub driver to operate.

It’s no wonder that people are already whispering about Terry hiding around a handsome model in his home. Following this, his decent but probably unattached pal, a trans lesbian named Karla (Hammel), drops by to hang out with the new and to get some time away from her wife Vanessa (Amy Zimmer), who is an author who has just completed her second book that has a storyline about Karla. While Terry becomes increasingly anxious to the point of becoming paranoid and even injured by stepping on a piece of raw chicken, Karla is trying her best to build connections with Bahlul and assist him in his quest to discover his identity. When Leo comes over accompanied by his new public fiancé and the people that were also interested in Terry’s invite, for all of them things get out of hand, and they can not accomplish their designated goals anymore.

The early bits are quite funny as Hammel is rather silly at the start. Terry’s first stubborn wish to whip the pots and pans whenever the supporters at the center would want him to do that and never relent in his endless rants about it is quite hilarious. I was fascinated to observe how Terry’s relational environment tries hard to impress Bahlul by doing things that make it clear how extremist and even racially bigoted their attitudes are. Karla tries to convince everyone that she is Arab and is exceptionally arrogant, while Vanessa constantly rants that she was born to “blonde” people. All of them, who are clearly bitter against and intolerant of anything to do with Americans and (putting more or less the same view as Terry in this case, one imagines one’s conservativeness after the events of September 11) let aside the question of Or Morocco is it a country which is Arabic or Middle Eastern.

To an extent, this is funny, but the problem with ‘Stress Positions’ is simply that this realization is had just about halfway through the film. The remaining time that is left foregoes almost all cohesion in the excessive piling up of plot devices, supporting characters, and the droning repetition of the film objectives which is what Hamel more or less does to all of it as well he wraps it up in a failed Blake Edward’s style script that was supposed to be comedic in nature.

One more problem is the inevitable one that every character to an extent has best developed their self-interest by competing with each and every other member in being unlikable and rotten which in turn makes them boring. The only one who does not belong to this kind of grouping is Bahlul one of the funniest and cutely brilliant wonderfully timed jokes is to watch him as he is entertained by people who want all his attention and he struggles to make them feel important and fascinating. Perhaps if the film had downplayed this aspect more and bordered closer to the embarrassing ostentation of the character’s arrogance, it would have worked.
