This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film tells the story of several young adults and also one of their fathers, who all struggle to get a job or keep a job under the adverse economy.It is good to see a bunch of good and well known actors and actresses in a small budget comedy. I guess the topic of trying to find jobs isn't exactly funny, so the plot contains many exaggerated, unlikely and even unrealistic scenes. I didn't find the jokes particularly funny, but they tried. The initiation scene in the finance company reminds me of "The Wolves of Wall Street", but in here it lacks the intensity. Actually, none of the characters are portrayed to have the intensity and stamina to get upwards in their respective careers, with the exception of the father who is freakishly persistent. Overall, "Get A Job" is a passable option for entertainment.

Get a Job explores interesting ideas about contemporary society, the work situation and the "I deserve it" culture promoted by some families and educative institutions. However, its frivolous tone and occasionally diffuse screenplay screenplay tend to dilute the relevance of those reflections. I have to point out the fact that Get a Job had been "shelved" for 4 years, and it was victim of changes and re-editions without the supervision from director Dylan Kidd, so some of its problems might be due to the manipulation of the producers. Nevertheless, I found Get a Job entertaining, with solid performances and good moments of humor which are helpful to overcome a narrative which needed more dramatic focus. The best attribute from this movie is the performances from Miles Teller as the idealist young man who must evaluate the importance of a formal employment; Anna Kendrick as the demanding and ambitious girlfriend; Bryan Cranston as the veteran "winner" facing the unexpected challenge of competing with rivals who are much younger than him; Alison Brie as a vulgar executive assistant; Marcia Gay Harden, John C. McGinley, Bruce Davison, John Cho and Greg Germann as different faces of the same corporative demon; and Jorge García as the "magic negro" (well, Hispanic in this case) with unexpected advices to navigate the treacherous current of work politics. Those descriptions might suggest a more cynical version of Office Space, but the point of Get a Job isn't laughing at the cubicles, but revealing the fact that there are no easy answers to the work problems: the fault doesn't totally lie on the companies, or the workers, or the economy. Or the point might have been pointing out the unreal expectations which sabotage the productive future of many young people who are (emotionally) badly prepared for the rigors of the "real world". I appreciate the fact that Get a Job inspired those reflections; but the audience has to scratch the slits of the screenplay to find that substance. On the surface, we have a story which should have gone farther to transmit its message: "follow your dreams" is a humbug more harmful than the sad reality.

Miles Teller is once again playing the same character he always plays; I'm starting to question whether his role in Whiplash was a one time thing. He was fine in this role, I think he's mastered this character, but his character in this film was uninteresting. The cast (Bryan Cranston, Ana Kendrick, Alison Brie, etc.) is surprisingly very talented, but it seems that they were wasted in this movie because their characters are indistinguishable from one another. The movie is about people losing their jobs and eventually getting a job, and yet does not succeed in demonstrating why they deserve their job or would realistically even get that job. For example, Miles Teller's character gets his dream job by making a "viral video" (I doubt the movie knows what viral means, because he only get 100 000 views on only one video) and gets a straight pass to job offers and a start at his own company. I don't think that that's how life works, but apparently this movie thinks so. Other than the plot, it's supposed to be a comedy, and it's not actually funny - I mean it's not unfunny but when there is jokes, they kind of fall flat (like its characters).

wow. I am a massive Bryan Cranston fan. Breaking Bad is epic in no small part to him and I felt Trumbo was a superb performance in this. So we have him and some terrific actors in this dross. What is going on with American films? In the last 7 weeks I have attempted to watch an American movie once a week and only last 30 minutes in each one. This movie had the premise that guys lounging around in a loft ( a rather expensive one) looking over the city and going to strip clubs after a few bongs was meant to be really funny. I feel like taking this movie to a Real Estate Agent and asking them where is my fancy apartment that I did not earn. Miles Tiller was awesome in Whiplash but I think he may have received Whiplash in that movie because he has been quite lame since then. Oh - back to the other movies. One had a 15 year old having sex with her mum's lover. Another was set in a school where students took over and use some of the foulest language towards the teachers. A Tarantino film that has a black guy forcing some cowboy to go down on him in the snow. Then the N word used to an all-time record. Another movie I watched had a lady becoming a spy. It was funny enough, but when she became a spy in the field, she began using the f word 3 times a sentence. Then I watched the Squid and the Whale. One of the worst movies of all times which somehow rated amazingly well on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. It had the least likable characters I have ever seen in a movie. Just awful. The youngest lad in it is pre-teen yet apparently it is funny to see him drink beer, use the worst corse words at his parents and masturbate in a library. What is wrong with the movies that country is putting out. I don't get it and I don't want to.
