Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
grantss Lily works at a fast-food restaurant...and is lonely. She has a crush on Jarrod, who works at a nearby store, but he hardly notices her. Then he invites a work colleague of hers to a party of his, and Lily goes in her place. Soon, a relationship blossoms.Sweet, funny and feel-good yet wonderfully understated. The directorial debut of Taika Waititi, who went on to direct Boy, What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For The Wilderpeople and Thor: Ragnarok. Contains the best elements of these movies - the warmth of Boy and Hunt For The Wilderpeople and the comedy of What We Do In The Shadows. Very sensitively told with some great humour along the way. Some lines are brilliant in their effectiveness ("Don't go to work, they think you're dead" had me in stitches).This all told in so understated a fashion that it is quite self-deprecating. Good work by Loren Horsley and Jemaine Clement (of Flight Of The Conchords fame) in the lead roles. Great movie.
Irishchatter I seriously thought it was going to be an ok movie for me to watch, well it was a disaster. I find that the two characters were more confused and all over the place especially the guys role. Whoever wrote this film, should be ashamed of themselves! The guys role was like a dwerp who just wants to make people's lives a living hell and the girl is like dreamy but confused. The writers honestly should've redone both characters personality and make them more get to the point that one of them I'd genuinely in love with one another! Horrible movie, AVOID!!!!
make_yourself-88714 I am always open to movies of all and every kind, unfortunately this one didn't do anything for me. I wasn't really invested in the characters, I didn't find it funny or even amusing at all, just somewhat odd. It plodded on and bored me, but I went down with the ship by watching til the credits finally put me out my misery. Seemed like it had potential at the start but like a untied balloon quickly deflated with a farty kind of noise. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. I'm certain you would be able to fill up your time with more productive and worthwhile activities than by viewing this. I am now just typing to fill up the minimum 10 lines for a review, there isn't much else to say about this film. That is all.
Paulo Corceiro If you're depressed or feeling blue, this is the movie for you! A story about two nerds falling in love leads to a series of crazy situations. Each one of the characters contains a surprise factor and some of them just are too much! The movie reminds me of "Cashback" in some points but without the stylish soundtrack. This could be considered a typical Sundance movie with a simple script and really good Art Direction ideas on the extreme kitsch side. Sometimes it's possible to feel Douglas Coupland whispering something about the unwanted adult life or Monthy Phiton screaming loud. In the end, a wonderful and creative piece of art!
