Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Prismark10 Get a Job is a so-so movie that was shot in 2012 but only released in 2016 when most of its cast became famous in the interim period.It is mainly about college graduates entering the uncertain world of work and how they deal with it. Which is mainly not well which leads to money issues and confidence problems.Will Davis (Miles Teller) thinks he has a job lined up after working as a summer intern only to discover that the firm had downsized and he needs to find another job quickly. His room mates are struggling with their jobs as well. His father (Bryan Cranston) and his girlfriend (Anna Kendrick) both lose their jobs soon after.The youngsters are hard working slackers and it is the employers that are actually presented as vile but the film is not really that funny.
Tony Heck "Maybe we're not all geniuses. So we're not the greatest generation. So what. These are our lives and we're gonna make the most of them." Will Davis (Teller) has finally graduated college and is ready to attack the world, with the help of his parents. When is dad loses his job and Will has to support himself he realizes things aren't as easy as he was hoping. Now him, his friends and his girlfriend Jillian (Kendrick) must face a world that none of them are prepared for. I will start off by saying this is nothing all that original or amazing and won't win any awards. That said, the movie is hilarious and one that is easy and fun to watch. Something I could watch over and over. Miles Teller has great timing and made me laugh through out. The movie deals with real and serious topics in a way that you don't realize they are being brought up until you are like...oh yeah, that makes sense. There really isn't a whole lot to say about this one other than if you are looking for a light-hearted comedy that actually has a message this is one to definitely pick up and watch. As funny as Teller is, Alison Brie really steals the movie and I wish she was in it more. Overall, a hilarious and fun movie that you can watch over and over. I give this a B+.
Seth_Rogue_One Despite of a cast with some really big names such as Anna Kendrick, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Mintz Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Jorge Garcia, John C McGuinly, Brandon T Jackson, Ravi Patel this was filmed in 2012 but it was not released until 2016.Once you've seen it it's not terribly hard to see why, it tries to squeeze in a little too much than it can handle in a very short running time (74 minutes without credits) to the point that it get a little confusing at times.Which it's definitely not meant to be as this is meant to be a easy going comedy influenced by 80's coming of age comedies but set in present day.But it's far from all bad though, there are some seriously funny stand-alone gags and Miles Teller is a pretty good lead and I could have swore he was John Cusack's son (he sure looks like it).In the end I kind of enjoyed it but I felt like it should have been a lot more fleshed out, not sure if perhaps it was longer at some point and the studio mercilessly cut it down because they felt like it didn't have enough substance to be a 100 minute movie or whatever.Which caused it to often lack coherence and flow, whatever it may be despite it's flaws I definitely didn't dislike it, it helps if you like the cast, just don't expect a big movie experience.5.5/10
time-bomb This movie was entertaining. Nowhere near as bad as some are saying. Get a Job doesn't take it self too seriously. From the get go the pace of the film keeps constant and at no time did it feel like it slowed down. It has a lot of heart and its not a movie that has jokes coming at you from left and right non stop through out the movie but the story telling and the comedy that it does have is more than enough. It relies more on its story telling than its comedy which i found to be a good thing. All actors and actresses worked well together and the acting was very solid. It was exactly what i needed on a Friday night as i said earlier it has a lot of heart and at the end the movie entertained me and was a lot of fun. If i had to describe the movie i would say its a feel good movie. Its message at the end really hit home with me, the music used through out the movie worked and complimented the movie when needed. For what it is it did not disappoint.
