So much average
Perfect cast and a good story
best movie i've ever seen.
Absolutely brilliant
Saw that it had Chris O'Dowd and thought it would be worth seeing. WRONG! As SnoopyStyle6 said in the review "Someone please shoot Chris O'Dowd in the face", I think that's being to generous to both him and his character. Why would he do something as horrible as this, we may never know. His character should have been immediately beaten and his remains should have then been dragged off to jail. There you go, the movie should have been over in less than 30 minutes, because it is completely unrealistic that he would have allowed his so called brother continue to abuse him as he had, and the mother should have been disowned for having been so completely worthless and enabling. I have to believe that the people who claim this movie is funny either don't know what funny is, or are simply deprived of seeing ANY that is truly funny.
This movie was pretty mediocre, but had some nice moments. I found my toes would start to curl at the pure stupidity of some of the actions the characters take: if you like slapstick sex comedies and dumb decisions, then your gonna love this movie. The interactions of the family was entertaining and casting was quite good (Charlie and Chris kinda actually look like brothers). A few plot holes and unexplained events that weren't explicit enough, but it generally made sense and was not to distracting.Points: 2 points were given for good jokes. 2 points for sufficient characterization and plot development. 1 point for good pacing of movie. 1 point for Charlie Hunnam (hothothothot).
In this movie everything is stupid, just everything. Is like Lars Von trier's "the idiots", a sum of over the top characters, just trying to forcing out a laugh out of you, but in this movie the characters are not willingly acting like idiots, they are all real idiots, all of them. Is just unbearable to watch... well, unless you like that kind of thing.Is just to stupid, it gets uncomfortable, and this is coming from a guy who absolutely loves airplane, top secret, hot shots, police academy, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, Monty python, and a lot of other movies and shows that from time to time make absolutely no sense and play around with the moronic dialogs, but well, there's to way to do that, a clever one, and "frankie go boom"'s one.
It is always flirting with disaster to write a film that dances between a narrative and a film within a film. Once you break that fourth wall you run the Brechtian risk of reminding us that we are watching a film and keeping us at bay, emotionally. But with Lizzie Caplan's seriously brilliant performance from her very first moment on screen, to the disturbingly funny surprises (and images) to a well-crafted script that gives this film its strong foundation, Jordan Roberts pulls it off. OK, he's no Brecht, but he's FUNNY. This is a movie that makes you laugh out loud. It's appeal is broad: young-er and not so young audiences of any sex, sexual preference and sexual identity. Go. Watch. Eat popcorn. Laugh. This is why we all started making movies in the first place.
