Tockinit not horrible nor great
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Roy Hart 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.
shelbymustang The reference to "three-finger Poi" has nothing to do with one of the scenes from the movie. I gave it (3) stars for Anna Kendrick's ability to dumb herself down sufficiently for this stinker and constantly covering up her midsection whenever it was slightly visible in the flesh. The funniest person in the movie is the father of the bride who should have received more lines. Continuous slapstick comedy cannot resurrect this stringer of dead fish but they try.
bdo-lara I thought that the "Chris Farley" kind of comedy was gone, but apparently there are still some scriptwriters that want to resurrect it. Efron and Plaza are very talented, but their very talents were not put into good use in this movie. If anything, Efron is the only relatable character, while his brother (Devine) is ideal to play 1997's Beverly Hills Ninja (in Farley's part). Lame script, totally predictable. The scriptwriters need to get back to 1996 to write Black Sheep by Farley.
Michael Ledo Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) are brothers who wholesale liquor to bars. They have a propensity to ruin family gatherings. When their sister Jeanie (Sugar Lyn Beard) is getting married to Eric (Sam Richardson) in Hawaii, they are required to come with dates so they don't go chasing the female guests. They place a Craig's List ad which goes viral. In a subplot Tatiana (Aubrey Plaza) and Alice (Anna Kendrick) are cocktail waitresses who like to drink and party too much which has led to their current state of unemployment. They connive a way to look sweet and innocent in order to get a free trip to Hawaii, something Alice really needs. As expected, the girls are too much like their male counterparts.The plot is basically formula. The comedy is at times crude, but tends to rise slightly above the trashy teen sex comedies. Drinking and drug humor is included. A basic fun contemporary comedy hashtag I heart Anne Kendrick.Guide: F-word, sex talk, brief sex scenes, Sugar Lyn Beard nudity with a fake beard.
Kapten Video A raunchy comedy about hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine, Zac Efron) who start a public campaign to find perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister's Hawaiian wedding, so the family would be pleased for once. Supposedly based on a true story. American mainstream comedies have a lot of improvised dialogue and scenes these days which can be great. Also, as in this case, it can bring mediocre results when there's not much content backing all that impro-ing, or the players are not able to get creative enough. In this case, there's enough story for an unpretentious 98 minute entertainment but the dialogue remains generic and performances feel uninspired. Both leading men, Efron and Devine, have done this sort of thing so much that they're always kind of cool. But the leading ladies, Aubrey and Kendrick, don't impress at all. They don't develop much of a flow of their own and settle for copying the guys. Dirty jokes are not that good either, and the blissful massage section which is supposed to be one of the major setpieces, is just painfully unfunny. „Mike and Dave" comes from the writers of „Neighbors" and „Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" but offers none of the fun and energy of said comedies, not that these were true classics or anything. It certainly doesn't help that at least three of the four leads have done this sort of thing way too much in recent past. It's hard to get excited again when all you're seeing is a case of SSDD.
