For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
It is not really a spoiler to tell that this is a gender movie, although not a typical one, because it is dressed up as a lighthearted comedy, which it truly is by the way. 25 minutes into the movie however the only main topic being discussed is if one is gay or not. It has got a clever disguise calling it a "Dirty Weekend" with a gorgeous woman as lead character in it, being stranded on an airport with an older man (Matthew Broderick). But after 25 minutes it turns out that the woman is lesbian and Matthew Broderick isnt sure what he is, but he wants to find out anyway...Even if the story about gender cant arouse much interest, you will be pleased to hear that "Dirty Weekend" can still be enjoyed as a regular, laid back comedy, because Matthew Broderick is his usual stumbling funny character. And even if the girl is lesbian and there is no romance between her and Matthew Broderick, she is still a knockout and has got some pretty sharp comments about Brodericks character, that push the story further into new directions which do surprise.As far as gender movies are concerned, it is nice to see a movie that is suited to be seen by everybody. No sex at all. In a Walt Disney movie you would see more nudity. Charming, very slowpaced, light comedy with some surprising twists. Not great, not bad, just really enjoyable.
I've never heard the term "Dirty Weekend" and I doubt this movie will spur it into pop culture. The acting is fine, I don't think the characters are supposed to be that smooth together. They are work people who aren't used to spending personal time together. Matthew Broderick is funny at parts if you have a dry sense of humor. I wouldn't suggest you watch this movie.
This is not a great movie, so if you are looking for one, skip it. That being said, it is certainly not a bad film. The acting is good, the subject is interesting and the overall mood is that of a road movie.You have these two coworkers in some company that is not revealed, as it means nothing to the story, stuck in "Albu-Quirky" until weather gets better in Dallas. One of them is Matthew Broderick, a middle aged man that seems to want to go to the town center for some reason, and the other is Alice Eve, his efficient and professional female counterpart who won't leave him alone. By the time the movie ends, we know more about the two characters and what their inner struggles are and they have bonded as good friends - and not romantically.Now, the pace is slow, the humor is mostly character based, manifesting as various quirks of the people in the film, the moral is that what happens in Albuquerque stays in Albuquerque and the meat of the film is talking and again talking. I actually went to IMDb to check if it was a Woody Allen movie in which he chose not to star for a change. It is not. It is another Neil LaBute story that he both writes and directs.While I won't recommend this film, I can't say that you should stay away from it, either. It is an unspectacular road movie, where you get to understand more of human nature.
I think the others that had commented on this movie are expecting something entirely different. This movie is paced so that it keeps you wondering what is happening,1. Is there something beyond being colleagues for the two of them? 2. Why is he so anal about going into town, with a lot of cash? 3. Why does she want to come along even though her character really doesn't care one way or another. So much for being Butch.People who can't enjoy the pacing and comedic tone of the movie have issues lol. You're seriously thinking way too much. You may be like the waitress on the potato or the cab driver who thinks it was infer to follow when he was told to wait RIGHT HERE. hahahaAs for the attack on Matthew this person needs a reality check. Matthew plays the father, casual sensible in a quirky way character. Calling him dull may actually be a compliment but then again the person may not get it lol. And yea Matthew has age and if you didn't like his "talking" character here how in the hell did you ever enjoy the rest of his previous movies lol. Oh the contradiction!Movie is subtlety funny in a very obscure fashion. You really have to get it for the movie to be remotely watchable lol. Matthew is outright funny, especially the bit where he stops at the you know what shop. hahahaHey, everyone has different taste in comedy I guess. Enjoy though.
