Horrible, IMDB rating is too high for it, Beware!


Saw this last night... horrible, just horrible.

I figured I would go to sleep and just would be over it it by the morning, but no, I'm still irate about it. That's how bad this movie is, after watching it, I was actually mad, I felt insulted as a viewer.

Even when you try to look past the ridiculous plot, it's a comedy after all, so just look the other way and try to enjoy the jokes... there is just no avoiding it, it's terrible.

The way the two main characters just slap each other all the time is SO stupid and annoying, dumb gags like that don't even happen in a bad episode of New Girl (I like New Girl btw, that is why I was kind of looking forward to this).
Goes with out saying I lost whatever little respect I had for the actors portraying the two main characters.

What really put the nail in the coffin for me, was that final gag while the credits are running, where the duo are partaking in some shady activity, hear a siren and go "It's the Cops!" ... damn it! That gag was lifted straight out of Super Bad. I don't know how the people that made Super Bad feel about it, imitation is a form of flattery I guess, but as a viewer I felt so insulted and cheated. These dumb idiots straight out copied that and it's not even funny at all!

The whole movie just makes you feel like, wow, those were 104 minutes of my life I'm not getting back, that was awful, I should have spent that time doing something else, anything!

So if for some reason you haven't seen this and you are on the fence about it, just close your browser window, and go watch another movie, or whatever, my advice is just walk away, RUN even!

Avoid, avoid, avoid like the plague!!

Someone is hard to please. This was just a fun movie. Nobody said it was going to be Oscar worthy. I didn't expect much out of this movie, but I thought it was hilarious.

I think you either love it or hate it. Everyone loved The Hangover and to me it's one of the worst movies I ever saw. I think it's a dreadful comedy.

Some parts are pretty lame but they don't last long and I like that the story doesn't take a lot of time to develop. Good parts mixed in. 2 characters easy to follow and easy to root for or laugh at. I think that's the best part.

Rob Riggle does an amazing job. I like how they are serious at times to show how they formed a friendship all with the same goal of taking the boss down. it's funny when they're talking about how they want to nail the guy to the wall lol

For the most part its a pretty solid buddy comedy.

It is too high!

I agree. Horrible movie. I was forcing myself to keep watching because of the very high rating.

Why would you be forced to watch something just because of a rating!? Do you follow all the people opinions!? Are you a sheep or what!?!?!?

This is the second comedy ( the other being Tammy ) I've watched recently where I didn't really laugh at all. They crank out a lot of bad comedies in Hollywood but at least most of them have at least one or two genuine laughs in them even if ultimately they are just bad. This movie just had nothing in it but two idiots acting stupid.

It's somewhere between a 5 and 6 for me. (I voted it a 6, but would have picked 5.5 if it were an option).


It had a beginning, middle, and end... so that removes it from the 1-3 rating.

It had a likible cast, so that prevented me from giving it a 4.




I could justify a 5, seeing as how the tone of the movie rather abruptly changed a few times throughout, and it was kind of clunky because of it.

I could also justify giving it a 6, because let's face it... going in, you kind of knew what to expect. Dumb buddy comedy where they try to throw as many punchlines as possible in the hopes that a few land.

To me, it's a 5.5

It was a bad movie, but not offensively bad.

I agree with an above poster about "The Hangover " movies. I hated both. So unfunny and stupid.

reply

The hangover movies are fkng garbage. I dont get the appeal at all.

reply

What film were you watching OP? This movie was frigging hilarious. Highly recommended.

reply

I prefer the Heat because humor wise its almost perfect, but this was a nice surprise I expected it was going to be an unfunny piece of crap but the chemistry of the two leads plus their story arc is really the highlights for the film for me. An 8 out of 10 for me.

reply

The Heat is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, wasted talent.

reply

Don't listen to OP. This was a very funny movie! I was pleasantly surprised.
