SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

srdjan_veljkovic There are way too many clips in this movie. Obviously, it's from time before Youtube.A well known story, which, funny enough for a movie w/Cobie Smulders before HIMYM, echoes Barney Stinson telling Ted Mosby "I'm gonna teach you how to live", is not very-well carried out. The "Barney Stinson" of this movie (the older brother) is lacking any real plan or "plays". "Ted Mosby" of this story - the younger brother (who hooks up w/Robin Scherbatsky of this story, obviously) is not nearly so goofy or interestingly "out to lunch". He's mostly just whining.But, these guys and gals are having fun and do manage to crank up a few good jokes and some well placed (if immature and borderline disgusting) clips. Since you can see them having fun, you're kind of OK with it.So, it's an OK watch, but there are much better comedies.

SnoopyStyle Cooper (Chris Klein) is a struggling actor spending his time chasing women. His younger brother Ed (Brendan Fehr) is a successful ad exec and video enthusiast until one day he finds his girlfriend in bed with another guy making a sex video.This is definitely a broad inappropriate comedy in the vein of American Pie. Some jokes worked, but most just flopped badly. The intercuts with old videos just don't work. They aren't funny and way too amateurish. Chris Klein and Brendan Fehr are fine actors, but they're both strictly straight man. Chris is being asked to be the funny man of the duo, and he doesn't fit. Brendan Fehr is playing his role too uptight. That's not funny either.

Jackpollins I like Chris Klein, and I like these types of comedies. This is why I had confidence that The Long Weekend was gonna be a very, very funny movie. I am sad to say I was wrong. I did not laugh at any one point throughout this whole movie. It's a gross-out comedy that's just gross. It's not funny, it's just gross. The story of Ed Waxman (Brendan Fehr), a guy who since babyhood has had a video camera stuck to his face like super glue is not anything new or original. This is not one of my biggest complaints. These movies do not have any intention to be new or original, nor should they. The movie follows how Ed finds his girlfriend videotaping her cheating on him. Ed now has lost his job, and no longer even looks at a video camera. Now, his well-intentioned brother Cooper (Chris Klein) tries to find him love, and just ends up screwing up his life even more (it figures.) The movie at least has an appropriate title, which is still not a good thing. It falls flat at every turn, and the movie is appropriately titled because this weekend is long, tedious, boring, and just plain dreadful.

sculpepper-1 There are some great sex comedies out there but this sure as hell isn't one of them. This is a mean-spirited, unpalatable, grotesque and deeply unfunny movie.Normally I am happy to spend 90 minutes or so in the company of Chris Klein. I recently enjoyed seeing him in "Just Friends". What was he thinking when he saw the script to this stinker? The plot mainly deals with the two protagonists' efforts to find sex over the eponymous long weekend. Not a great premise for a movie, admittedly, but in the right hands it might have been fun.Not in these hands though. The jokes, if that is what they are supposed to have been, are either idiotic, unhealthily misogynistic or utterly revolting. The action is interspersed with a variety of truly repulsive video clips (which have some vague relevance to the plot), mainly of animals eating their own crap and the like.It's rare that I actually give up on a movie, but after 45 minutes or so I had to rip that sucker out of my DVD player as it was turning my stomach. There are doubtless some morons out there who'll enjoy wallowing in the unbelievable crassness that is The Long Weekend, but I would advise most of us to avoid avoid a-void this one.
