CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
FilmFlaneur First off: this is a low budget, high concept film with no real pretensions, so don't come looking for deep meanings or Oscar-worthiness here. Second off: despite the frattish central conceit this isn't at all bad, and even manages to suggest, and comment about, matters of male sexual morality etc which much bigger, more earnest productions miss, or labour out of existence with good taste. 'Rich' Johnson, the titular hero, starts off as a helpless philanderer, losing a succession of girlfriends due to his inability to control himself. (He is however not entirely to blame, as one encounter demonstrates). After the most recent occasion of betrayal by him and the ending of another promising relationship thing rather personal separate and Johnson and his johnson have to learn to live with and then apart from one another.The interesting thing about Bad Johnson is that Johnson's johnson is made human and not just a comic talking appendage. (It could for instance have been portrayed like 'Tonguey' in Kung Pow). Instead what we have is like that old Star Trek episode when the 'good' and the 'bad' Kirk co-exist after a transporter malfunction. The effect of this is to make the change less of a joke which runs out of steam after a few crude scenes, and the situation more susceptible to social comment, as the film ambles from its un-PC beginnings onto something more regular. Ultimately johnson shows himself in his newly independent form as a element of Johnson's ego (significantly this separate existence does not effect Johnson's libido)which is revealed as sometime-objectionable part of the male character. As Johnson gets along without his friend, so does his relationship with women improve and, surprise surprise, he becomes a much more likable fellow. Even if the words he later utters about the need to "say 'no'" seemed to this viewer to take the case against active sexuality a little too far, it is clear that the film does manage to pose some interesting questions about how much of stereotyped maleness is down to selfishness and a lack of self control and yet how both the good and bad parts of Johnson are together necessary for things ultimately to work.The cinematography and direction are perfectly fine, and the cast acquit themselves well. I had a smile on my face throughout and, for a film like this, its all better than you'd expect.
ashleylv9 This movie made me want to be a man so I could understand the struggles of Cam Gigandet. In fact, it made me want to be a man to understand the struggles of men in general. To see the way Rich Johnson suffered because of the loss of his penis was enough to make me wonder. Also, this is probably the most thoughtful a movie about a humanoid penis could get, but it was hilarious anyway. I enjoyed the interesting and extremely amusing, yet crude, twist on a romantic comedy that I otherwise would have been bored watching, since I usually don't even like romantic comedies. This one totally kept my attention from sheer ridiculousness, despite knowing that everything was going to work out in the end. The character who played the guy's penis really kept things interesting. So, if you like rude humor like I do, with a dash of cute, this is your movie!
Cassie Hamilton Okay so I heard about this movie and my immediate thought was "What?" However, after watching the movie, I thought it was actually really funny. The film had the predictable storyline of a classic romantic comedy, but it still had scenes that threw me for a loop. Nick Thune gave a hilarious performance as Rich's dick, and still managed to keep some humor when things turned semi-serious at the end. Cam Gigandet skillfully played the role of "douche-turned-loving-boyfriend" and I thought there was good character development. As for the film as a whole, I think it managed to convey the message of taking responsibility for one's own actions and to be honest, while still being entertaining and overall weird. If you're skeptical about the movie, I would say give a shot and you might find that it's very enjoyable.
freewinona20032002 I just saw the film on Itunes and I have to say I loved it. I know when you read it your probably thinking, 'What the hell?' but trust me its worth a watch! I found it to be a 'Raunchy Comedy' w/ heart. Total Classic. The Acting was great and the storyline to me was very original and different. Nick Thune is hilarious and this might be a breakout role from him in the comedy realm of movies because he was great! Cam did pretty well and up and comer Katherine Cunningham and Kevin Miller were delightful. Jeff Tretreault has proved his comedy writing skills in his first feature. I look forward to see what he brings to the table next.
