migueljunadvincula I was at work yesterday and, as usual, i got bored out of my mind (don't tell anyone), so i decided to watch this movie. i set my expectations pretty low because it was just to pass the time but, lo and behold, i was pleasantly surprised by how great the movie was. this is an independent film through and through, as there's basically just three people interacting with each other the whole time, but what it lacked in budget it more than made up for with an excellent little comedy that trumps most of what's out there today in the same genre. the cast turned in great performances, especially Matt Jones,Will Rogers' character was totally identifiable (at least he was to me) and Eleanore Pienta was perfect for her role.i don't do movie reviews as a norm, as there are enough people out there doing it, but i just had to try and give this little gem a boost in order to get more people to watch it and have a wonderful surprise like i had watching it.
Leftbanker OK, a Ten Star Review? A bit inflated but I was just so relieved to not be watching a total piece of garbage that I had to boost this one up. In its defense, I found the movie to be completely entertaining from start to finish. You also have to consider how little this film probably cost to make when comparing its entertainment value against what passes for blockbusters today. This has a couple scenes in a dinner and then the rest is inside of a house with three actors. Bravo for that.They should just bill this as a Breaking Bad spin-off with one of its most beloved characters trying to get by after his meth slinging days. He's even worse and burgling house than he was at selling dope but he's still a funny guy and the same exact character he was in the series. His cuckolded friend is a wet blanket and not funny at all so Badger has to do almost all of the heavy lifting in this movie.The girl they interrupt hanging out in the house does a great job of playing the sexy uninvited, vaguely-criminal house guest. And she's just the exact right amount of sexy; she's not bombshell Hollywood gorgeous, just very attractive. She's also the brains of the bunch.The movie was laugh-out-loud (yeah, you can and should write that out) funny many times. For example: I kissed my step-mom. She was asleep.Did she wake up? - Yeah.OK, you win.Do I, though?
screechy_jim I'll make this a quick review because I think this film deserves one. I liked it. Its quite enjoyable and as comedy's go its pretty solid material but it's no classic, nor do I think it will receive any real acclaim.Great performances, story and script are reasonable, but it needed something more... just that little extra something that would have made it rip roaringly funny. It has good well written jokes, but nothing brought me a belly laugh. Well acted, but nothing had me whooping, shaking my head in defensive appreciation or laughing out loud. I think things needed to be dialled up a notch because the humour aspect really needed to be on the next level to make it a comedic success. I don't know humour that well so can't identify the failings, I just know funny when it happens and laugh when something's funny. This one was on the verge, it almost delivered but not quite.Still a reasonable film and worth a watch. I did chuckle in quite a few places and I did enjoy it, but it always threatened so much more and I so much wanted it to deliver.
radurestivan A lovely comedy to watch on a rainy day. It's that type of movie that you can easily relate with. I usually like pure comedies (big fan of Shaun of the Dead, for example) and this one didn't disappoint me. Could lighten up your day, as the jokes were funny and natural. The actors are cute. Would totally recommend this movie.
