There were some not so subtle messages embedded (Catholics are bad/intolerant/stupid, alcoholic Dads/clueless Moms abound). I’ve come to expect the repeated opinion conditioning in movies like this, but at least make them funny, or even interesting.

Do the people making these films screen them? How could anyone short of a stoner appreciate a comedy with no humor? The entire movie was a drug commercial, but I’m not sure how watching those losers would amount to making you think pot improved your life. Ryan Reynolds can be a pretty good actor, so it’s sad that he starred in crap like this and Waiting.

The director should have known that if u cast a Kristen Stewart, a failure of an actress, you will have a failure of a movie.
Nonetheless, i hope he learns from this movie’s failure and makes more movies with the same comic genius as Superbad.

Reynolds is portrayed as the cool, suave, “gets all the ladies” guy and Eisenberg is the “joke” against him. For Eisenberg, things just don’t seem to work out, but Reynolds gets to have his cake and eat it too. Physically, Reynolds is a full blown man and Eisenberg is obviously still growing. This is a typical schlemiel relationship.

Was surprised by this review. Even NY Times had it as a critics pick.

A comedy that failed to make u laugh.

Honestly
i got way more laughs out of The House Bunny. (which i think is a hilarious movie)

and it’s john’s opinion, after all this is HIS site.

Expectations can be a catalyst when you see films and I was in the mood for a laugh out loud riot, so maybe that is why I didn’t like the movie.

Is it just me or is anyone else sick of the “quiet/poetic/artistic/ nerd does good” character?

Coming from Greg Motolla, this is such a mature and truly interesting outing as compared to his other noteable film, the mediocre teen comedy that was Superbad. I loved every second of it, minus the scenes featuring Ryan Reynolds. It’s a great film to me, but that’s the brilliance of film. To each their own. Great review!
