Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
José Roberto (zeeh-991-380650) I must say I really liked that movie. I never watched it expecting to be a comedy thanks god, I watched in my cable TV first then I bought the DVD. The movie basically discuss about good and bad, right and wrong with some guys each of them representing one of the attributes. For instance I can say Jack is the "Evil" , Sweet Stephen is the chooser "the free will image" and the cop some neutral force. The storyline is very good, nice dialog especially, but NO WAY this is a comedy. The end leaves some sort of message that was pretty cool. Just don't buy this movie expecting to see Zach Galifianakis telling you jokes.
Ajay Karwal I bought this DVD based on Zach G in Hangover and Due Date, and the fact that the blurb on the cover said it is a "dark comedy".It's ridiculous that Z.G. is so prominent on the cover and listed as one of the main roles... he's in the movie for 1 scene.. around 10 mins in total.This is a strange movie.. takes a while for the story to develop, and when it does it leaves you feeling a little strange.It's not until the very last scene that it all comes together and you actually realise what is going on.Worth watching, but DO NOT expect any comedy, DO NOT expect Due Date or Hangover.
chrisroberts33 I will start this article by conceding some points. yes the film cover is very misleading both in showing what kind of film it is and who the main stars are. Yes the film is made by a porn director who has little experience outside that field although he has directed several episodes of OZ! Every review I have read has hated this film. I think maybe people's opinion may be clouded because it was not the movie they expected when they purchased the DVD. This movie is full of original characters and clever story telling. The dialogue (although not as good) is very much in the Cohen brothers/ Tarantino style of talk for the sake of thought rather than plot development and although the story is quite interesting the film is more about getting you thinking or talking about the issues it raises. IE - what is wrong and what is right and why do these 2 opposing forces exist in the human psyche. This is an original film and should be viewed not as a comedy but as a chance to spend and hour and 10 minutes enjoying some unique characters and discuss a subject which is part of the make up for all our psyches and not as a slapstick comedy that will make you chuckle twice if your lucky. Enter this film with the correct expectations and you are in for a real treat. The film does have a religious undertone but I do not feel it was trying to use religion as anything other than a means to discuss the way we battle with "right and wrong" in our own minds
meatmachineman Bad bad bad! So bad, I finally signed up to give a review! I suppose my wife and I are not artsy enough to fully appreciate such a grand production. We rented it because of Zach Galifanakianifianaisakilaificas. HE WAS PROMINATELY DISPLAYED ON THE COVER. Add to that the movie being listed as "comedy" and we thought we might have a winner on our hands. If one can get past the disappointment of Zach Whatshisname being in one scene, and one devoid of humor at that, they might try to find something redeeming in the movie. We found nothing. The mindless and random ramblings seemed endless. 80 minutes felt like days.If you like movies that no one else does and get a sense of superiority because you heard of and were a fan of Zach G prior to The Hangover, this movie might be right up you alley. If you're like the rest of us who laughed yourself silly at his roll in The Hangover, SKIP Frenemy or Little Fish, Strange Pond or whatever other name they have to change the movie to in order to not scare people away.The movie had two redeeming qualities, despite my disdain for it... 1) It ends 2) We were able to take it back to Redbox. The fact that I wasted a meager dollar for it still irks me, though.
