Nonureva Really Surprised!
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
chilichilipepper To begin with, it kind of annoys me when people post instant one star reviews because they disliked a movie. There are probably no movies out there that are one star or "zero stars" as a lot of the reviews here say. Just because someone disliked something doesn't mean it is "The Worst Movie Ever", another phrase that gets tossed around more than the Comic Book Guy in the Simpson's says it.All that being said, yes, this is a pretty bad movie. It has an excellent concept and had some decent acting from a few of the cast members however it is obvious that the writing was not competent enough to keep up with the idea.Not Another Not Another Movie almost feels like an attempt to recreate the beauty of "Spinal Tap" like many other failed movies before. Instead of a documentary type spoof on the music industry, it is a spoof on how difficult it is to make a good movie. That is basically the entire meta-joke that the movie tries to evoke, however, it just doesn't deliver. There are some well written scenes, such as the meeting with Vinnie Jones, and also (as Jones) some high profile a-listers that provide cameos or bit parts.The main problem is that most of the movie's jokes are basically stolen from other comedians / movies / TV shows. It attempts to be a parody but really comes off as more of a collection of plagiarizing bits taken from far better material. There's a big difference between parody / spoof and simply stealing jokes and attempting to make it your own. It really becomes annoying when 85% of the movie is "Hey, that joke was taken from (insert someone else / another movie) rather than spoofing or parodying it.Overall, the movie is basically funny at times, and is good for just wasting about 90 minutes of your life. However, as good as the concept is and the potential just does not work due to shoddy writing, blatant plagiarizing, and just poor acting with a few exceptions. It really serves best as background noise while you're doing something else rather than really paying attention to it. It actually is a shame because the idea behind it was really solid; a mockumentary about trying to film a mockumentary spoof movie is a great idea. The movie just doesn't deliver.So Worst movie ever? of course not, that's the most overused phrase in the world. a 1 star or a 10 star? not even close. Is it worth watching? Only if you're really bored and there's nothing else on because there are a few good laughs (although again like I said, most of the best laughs come from other people's material). So well, overall verdict is a 3.5 out of 10. The score is really based on the concept of the film, not on the film itself. And a point and a half for some scenes that are pretty funny.Bottom line : Watch with no expectations and don't prepare for anything more than a 3/10 movie. Again, it is a great concept that just doesn't deliver. If you're bored and want to waste 90 minutes on mindless recycled / stolen jokes (and a couple of clever/funny scenes) then that's about all you can expect from Not another Not Another Movie.
knawdas First things first - despite the title, this *isn't* a spoof movie in the realm of Friedberg/Seltzer, etcetera. It's actually a quite funny mockumentary about a struggling movie company who turns to spoof movies when all of their other ideas haven't worked... which, to be honest, is a pretty accurate depiction of Hollywood today.Even then, the spoof movie plot is relatively subdued, taking a backseat to the hilarious antics and romantic failures of Randy, a movie crew nobody who manages to rise higher and higher through the ranks as the company falls to pieces, eventually becoming a director totally devoid of experience or basic intelligence. This is absolutely a 'love him or hate him' sort of character, but he never fails to deliver the laughs.While the film isn't quite as celebrity packed as the artwork would have you believe - Burt Reynolds appears in exactly one scene - Chevy Chase and especially Michael Madsen put in memorable roles, Madsen being perfectly cast as a murderous convict who temporarily heads the studio. Another surprising highlight in the cast was Ellie Gerber, likely cast due to her uncanny resemblance to Scary Movie's Anna Faris, but nonetheless charming and likable.Overall, it's a shame this film didn't gain more exposure, with much of the intended audience wrongly assuming it was going to be another in the long line of terrible spoof movies. Give it a chance, and go into it without any preconceived notions - I expected the worst and came out very pleasantly surprised.
StudioDudio Very funny movie. Not what I expected. The writing is so funny and appealing to both a male and female sense of humor. I thought Vinny Jones stole the show. He's always in serious roles, but he played this comedic role to perfection.Chevy Chase was classic "Chevy." Chevy has honed his comic timing via a run of "SNL" and movie roles and is still one of the funniest actors around. His delivery has gotten so good that he's become one of those guys that's funny standing still, before he utters word one. You're laughing before you even know the premise. The minor characters are all very good and amusing, I think they should develop this into a TV show.The guy playing Randy is hilarious. I would love to see him in more comedies in the future.I also think it's great that they made a clean movie you can watch with the family. There's very little profanity and no nudity. I'ts just good clean comedy
swedish_chef_dave Never in the history of movie making did anyone make anything so awful and so worthless, a collection of not entertaining rubbish with no plot or links or anything funny, all copies should be collected and destroyed and history should be purged of all mention of this pointless waste of time. How does anyone think this poor quality is worth the effort and money, How do actors bother, unless they are over the hill and wouldn't get any other offers, Life is too short to have this rubbish floating about. I am lost for words to make this 10 lines long. Nothing could have made this token effort to attract a few cinema goers, they must have lost money and the main actors took the money and ran laughing to the nearest bar.
