Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
sanidasifali The Clapper is an easy watch, and in most reviews it states , this movie doesnt know what it wants to be. It tries to be a satire, it tries to be a romcom etc. Why does a movie have to be one thing? This movie bravely attempts to navigate a love story with crazy media culture as a backdrop. Its a story about 3 honest people Eddie, Judy and Chris in a very dishonest world. I liked the performance of Ed Helms, Tracy Morgan and Amanda Seyfried. The only thing I had a problem was with the end dialogues between Eddie and Judy. But this is a very small, sweet movie which does paints an honest picture of everything wrong with popular culture. I think time will be kind to this movie.
tradairn Like so many WA movies, this one features a haggard, unattractive middle-aged loser who becomes obsessed with a beautiful young woman who looks like she's young enough to be his daughter. And she, incredibly, finds him attractive in return. Really? Are we still doing this in 2018? It was disturbing enough when Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were teamed up (and he knew it), but 60 years on and Hollywood is still perpetuating the myth that this is normal and okay.Add to that a slew of unlikable characters (Ed Helms must be the most annoying actor next to Will Ferrell) and witless dialogue, and this was about the longest 90 minutes I've ever spent.The movie does have an interesting concept, but an unbelievable love story and awkward casting does it in.
lavatch This unrealistic romp around L.A. is unfortunately neither a good comedy nor a cute romance. The silly premise focuses on a poor schlub named Eddie Krumble, who is trying to eke out a living as a paid "plant" in audiences for infomercials. He wears various disguises, but eventually is recognized, achieving his fifteen minutes of fame on a television talk show.The romantic connection involves Eddie's love for Judy, a young woman who works in a gas station. The most unconvincing part of the film was when Judy feels betrayed and "stalked" when Eddie tries to locate her, using his newfound notoriety on television to reconnect with Judy after she left him. The plot line was absurd and, and the plot holes were wider than the San Fernando Valley.The filmmakers were not successful in squeezing any humor out of the reality tv plot. And they failed equally in the love story. The large cast of supporting characters who were the "eccentrics" of Los Angeles were disconcerting in light of the deeply troubling poverty, homelessness, and dire straits of Los Angelenos today. The exact area where the film was occurring currently resembles something between a Third World nation and a war zone.
