SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Sina Shakiba The only reason I watched this movie was because I thought it would be one of those comedy films with stupid jokes that for some reason we find hilarious, however I quickly realised that's not the case. It has some definite laugh out loud moments but it feels natural, as if it wasn't written to be a comedy. It's funny but without trying too hard. If you are expecting pure comedy then this isn't for you, but if you want a balanced film with humour, a half decent story line and some drama this is for you!I liked this title for some reason despite the terrible reviews it has received, it will entertain you for the duration of the film which is actually rather short.
drhemp The only funny scene in this otherwise unbelievably boring film was the scene where everyone walks in and finds the dead man's wife, and even that joke didn't last too long, by which point the film gets ridiculous.I know the script was appalling, but still they somehow managed to find actors who could act worse than the infant that wrote it. Like we're supposed to believe the guy doesn't just accidentally kill a woman by pushing her head in a cake but he also strangles her just to make sure she is dead after she slips on the icing on the floor. Not including the murderer, there were like five or six, can't remember the film was too stupid to make an impression, we are lead to believe that not one of them would freak out or suggest calling the police, except at the very end, which led to nothing. They dismember the dear departed's body and put them in plastic bags they dispose of by various means. The husband of the murdered woman, who incidentally was quite satisfied with the excuse that the guy still strangled her just to make sure she was dead after she slipped on the cake. The cop finds the bags with the dismembered bodies, but just gave them a lecture with unfunny one-liners.This film is crap, do not watch, it just gets worse and worse. It's a shame, because it is sometimes said Americans do not have a sense of humour or know what irony is. This is not true, some of the funniest films and comedians ever to grace this world have come from the USA, which begs one to wonder how you could have made such an unfunny and unbelievable film.
Dr_Sagan Although a member of 8-9 years, I'm writing reviews for the last 6 months and I've written more than 170 reviews. Never before I felt the need to characterize a movie as "crap" and give it 1/10.This movie not only is amateurish and cheap (although wikipedia mentions a ...5,000,000 $ budget, that didn't go to the 6-7 main actors who received ...100$/day for 12 days shooting) but the story is so shocking that I doubt there is a civilized person out there that can't be offended by it.Scott Foley, an actor I only knew from Scandal, directs (so to speak) and writes the most offensive "movie" I saw in recent years.FULL SPOILER ALERT: There are these couples with kids that don't like one of the wives that much (Dagmara Dominczyk) Ward's (Donald Faison) wife. Actually she's not a bad person or anything. They just don't like her. In a daytime party Scott Foley ends up alone in the kitchen with her. For a minor cause he decides to push her head into a cake. Seconds later she slips in one piece of cake that landed in the floor. She is hurt but not serious injured. Scott Foley (an actor/writer/director who I'm beginning to hate) without any particular reason decides to ...struggle her while she's lying on the floor!!!! Not thinking for a second about her kid(s) or her husband who is his friend. Blunt cold murder.But now is where the "movie" goes down the drain. Her husband, his friends and his wife decide that Foley did well and that all together they must get rid of the body. That includes put her in a tub, drain her blood from her veins, cut her to pieces, put the pieces in garbage bags and scattered them to many locations.To top all that her husband Ward (Donald Faison) pisses on her dead drained from blood body while in the tub.The movie is not a comedy, because there isn't a single laugh.It's not a professional movie either because all the "equipment" is a lame camera in a tripod.It's moronic because why scattered the pieces in different locations? To increase the possibility of someone find one? And why smash her head beyond recognition when we leave in the 21st century where DNA, dental records etc. are the first thing that CSI checks to identify a body? And it's shocking to kill an innocent woman and a mother for nothing and have your 6-7 friends to become lunatics who vandalize her body and become accessorries to murder and face the death sentence.Overall: What kind of stupid sociopath wrote this script? Ah yes. Scott Foley..
MovieSonic I enjoyed watching this film all the way through until the end.This is not a comedy. That must be made clear and I hope the film is not marketed as a comedy because it will receive a lot of low ratings by people expecting The Hangover (2009) when in reality this movie has more in common with The Last Supper (1995). There is plenty of humour but it comes about organically through ordinary (interesting) conversations.I thought the film ended far too soon. It truly felt like half an hour was missing and that they had wasted Greg Grunberg's character because he was ultimately of no importance. I was expecting a huge investigation and perhaps some consequences but instead, the focus of the film was entirely on the benefits of murder.I would give this 6.4/10 and have decided to round up due to the fact that there is some truly great writing here, terrific acting and I laughed out loud at least three or four times. Had the ending been more spectacular or of any consequence at all, I would have given it 8/10.As it stands, great effort and well worth watching.7/10
