Better Late Then Never

Awesome Movie

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

You know what? This is legitimately a funny film, in an offbeat kind of way. The movie is really ahead of its time. I found out about it because it has a little cult following. I was told to go into it knowing nothing and avoid the trailer at any cost because it spoils the best jokes. Not that you have to worry about running into a trailer for a 10 year old film.

The gist of the movie is explained plenty in reviews before this one so I won't get into it. Instead I just wanted to throw in my two cents in an effort to help guide other IMDb visitors.I picked up Mystery Team with a "free movie" coupon but I still feel like to wasted gas running out to pick it up. I made it through the first 20 minutes or so but man, it's really unwatchable. YouTube-length DERRICK comedy clips are great and I can appreciate the time and effort that go into them. The cast is great, the content is definitely original and they are generally hilarious. But the comedy just didn't translate to a full feature-length flick. Maybe things really picked up in the next hour?

This movie just hit the right spot. It seamlessly combines irony, wit, awkward situations, and disguises. There were some minor things such as production value that held it back from being all it could be, but even that couldn't hold it back. Derrick Comedy just proves that you don't need big budgets and special effects to make good movies. The people who gave this movie bad reviews all probably enjoyed Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe. As for anyone who asks, "What demographic is this aimed at?" the answer is that it is aimed for people who don't sit in the back of comedy shows where they fold their arms and frown when the comic makes an inappropriate joke. The innocence of the main characters combine with the vileness of reality makes for a fun watch.

Derrick Comedy are on the brink of being the next comedy wave...hell in a lot of ways they already are with their shorts. Every other person involved with DC seems to be getting big time roles in major TV shows like Community to The Office...but we aren't reviewing their worth to the comedy scene as a whole we are reviewing their debut feature length film, Mystery Team.There is a lot of promise in this movie, and some heartfelt laughs, but it might have been a tad to much for DC to handle with such little funds (as far as movies go) and lack of SCREEN WRITING experience and as the movie goes on the weaknesses turn from paper cuts to gaping wounds. DC tend to fall into a rut where they cant think of a funny situation to throw in the movie with the premise given so they throw in some misplaced fart, or rape, or poop jokes, and that coupled with weak acting leads to disastrous gaps in comedy. The performances of the stronger actors in the film like Donald Glover, and Aubrey Plaza (Who from what I know isn't affiliated with DC outside this movie) seem pulled down by their weaker counterparts, and one can only a assume a few more shorts and a drama class or two couldn't have hurt them in preparation for such a major project.Mystery Team does have to be taken with a grain of salt though. The movie is far from void of laughs, and at the end of the day it was 3 guys making a movie they envisioned and even though they I'm sure they'll even admit it was harder then they expected, it seems like they had a hell of a good time doing it.On some lesser but still major faults Donald Glovers score is horrible, and the screenplay in itself has some serious drags in it, I know I keep bringing it up but people should know how important it is to keep a comedy going, moving and moving if there isn't A situation a joke could be going into, there should be plot development not just hit or miss one liners, that in this case often miss.Im excited for the future of every main character in this movie....but as for Mystery Team as a whole a have to call it a lackluster movie with a heavy dose of one shot laughs.
