A trio of costumed psychos hold the staff of a Mexican restaurant captive on Halloween night. Their mission is to carry out their yearly 'tradition' of gorging on human meat - which they force the establishment's chef to prepare for them in gourmet fashions...
I can't see it being a mere coincidence that the lead captor is played by an actor who is also a McPoyle brother on the show, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", while another actor is audaciously doing a total Charlie Day impression throughout the whole fucking movie. As much as I like that show - the way this movie was trying to mimic its look and humor style was incredibly annoying and completely missed its intended 'mark'. The protagonists are all dull and unamusing (as well as TYPICAL) stereotypes and the antagonists are doing the casual/deadpan "Oh, well THAT just happened..." type of delivery that gets just fucking painful. The only real positive thing I can say about "Gravy" is that the gore and make-up effects are pretty good at times. Otherwise, I'd advise anyone with a glimmer of intelligence to steer clear of this moronic drivel. Instead, go check out the "Gang Gets Held Hostage" episode of "Sunny". It's basically the same premise and is actually entertaining.
