i was kinda skeptical of this one, but it’s humor grew on me pretty fast

This just has the right vibes, tbh. The goofiness of it all feels sincere as if the idea of something existing is more pure than it having to exist in the best way possible. The jokes land wonderfully and do break up any lulls. It reminds me of a lot of other low-budget comedy that I enjoy

This was fun! It's very nonsensical and almost completely incoherent but it was really funny. Like it did keep me consistently laughing for most of the runtime. Which is honestly rare for comedies to do especially nowadays. Generally absurdist comedy is kind of hit or miss for me but it works here rather well. There is no real 'straight man' of the group and everyone is a weird character, so it feels like Clue almost. Or Knives Out. It's what it's giving me vibes of.

I also personally really liked the color grading on this, most films I feel like look really washed out, especially modern films are really washed out. So it was nice to see the saturation sort of turned up some. At least it's visually interesting to look at on screen instead of staring at movie that looks like it was shot through wet cement.

The one complaint I do have is a very niche complaint. I have facial blindness so I tend to struggle telling people apart by face alone. So I tend to differentiate people by other features like hair color so I do sort of wish there was like one less white blonde woman because I was sort of getting confused between the three of them. But that's like a me thing and doesn't really affect the film at all.

This is very obviously an lower budget film, but honestly sometimes that can work in a movie's favor sometimes if you choose to highlight that as a portion of the comedy. So honestly it tended to work for me as a bonus rather than a detriment. I thought it was kind of funny. I love a silly goofy time.

There's so many random throwaway lines that actually killed me I know I will be randomly quoting in the next few weeks.

Now I have seen two films named Hanky Panky.

“You've been like a son to me.”“And you’ve been like a father and a lover to me.”

If you're into "so-bad-it's-good" movies, Hanky Panky is a must-watch. This bizarre comedy-horror-mystery-sci-fi mashup proudly flaunts its 3.7/10 IMDb rating as a badge of honor. Despite its flaws—or maybe because of them—it delivers an unforgettable and hilarious experience.
The story follows Sam, a peculiar guy who talks to his hanky. Yes, you read that right—a hanky. He attends a dinner party filled with quirky and suspicious guests, from a sweet but mysterious neighbor to a dysfunctional married couple constantly bickering. Throw in some creepy hosts, unexpected murders, and sci-fi weirdness; you've got a recipe for chaos.
The low budget is evident, but the film embraces its limitations instead of hiding it. The fight scenes are laughably fake, and the dialogue is so cringe it's amazing. But the charm lies in its self-awareness. The actors seem to have the time of their lives, making the movie feel like an inside joke you're invited to join.
The suspense works surprisingly well, keeping you guessing about who can be trusted. Sam, the closest thing to a hero, isn't reliable either—after all, he's literally chatting with a hanky. While the plot goes off the rails, it somehow ties everything up in a satisfyingly absurd way.
Hanky Panky is an entertaining mess perfect for a college movie night. It's not a masterpiece but a fun escape from reality. Grab some friends, embrace the weirdness, and prepare to laugh.

It’s so intentionally awful that it comes across as charming. From the over acting, to the hilariously done fight scene, to the non existent budget (literally), to the hilarious cgi (or lack there of). 

A film you should definitely watch high. Cause they definitely made it while high.
