Who payed the critics

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ray Romano and Kevin James have both become beloved through their great sitcoms but sadly both men seem to want to distance themselves from the roles that made them famous and take on darker roles. Sadly this experiment falls flat and Grilled is the result of it.The basic plot outline is good and the actors involved raise expectations but sadly this film is lousy. It's no wonder it went straight to DVD. It tries to be a cool black comedy but then it tries to have moments that pull at the heart strings and in the end fails to fit either genre well enough. In the end the director resorts to the over-usage of expletives, sex and violence.Don't Romano and James understand that there was nothing wrong with their style in their sitcoms and that it is this style that made us as an audience fall in love with them.

This movie is pretty much nice and entertaining, it's good in order to pass some time. But that's where it ends... This movie totally lacks a point, I remember sitting through it and in a few plot "twists" thinking to myself "Oh so this is the point of this movie!" and hoping that this movie continues chasing this plot but NOOOO this movie just keeps changing in introducing new things until the very end. At the end I didn't realize it was over, I thought it shouldn't have ended because there was no "body" to this movie, it was all just a big opening. So does it try to be "a movie about nothing" like Seinfeld? I really don't get it.. So, if you're bored and have nothing to do go rent or something, watch it with friends because that's the best way to watch comedies. But if you have something better to do you can afford yourself to skip this one, I'm sure nobody will notice and god won't be angry with you.

The two geniuses behind Everybody Loves Raymond and The King Of Queens come together to bring us Grilled.First of all and this is very important Grilled has a completely different comedic style than both sitcoms so don't expect The King Of Queens or Everybody Loves Raymond.The humour style of Grilled is very subtle and rather dark as Dave and Maurice get themselves in and out of hilariously dark situations.The acting is what makes Grilled funny Ray Romano, Kevin James, Juliette Lewis, Burt Reynolds, and Michael Rappaport give amazing performances that are unique and show all the talent the have in the genre of comedy.Where the pacing is concerned it is very slow and yes Grilled does get a little stale but they always put in a good plot twist to get your interest back and hold it.The movie has a lot of film noir like humour the kind of humour you'd find in Lucky Number SLevin or Pulp Fiction but it also has it's fair share of physical humour as well.It is overall a very fantastic movie but definitely not as good as either Everybody Loves Raymond or The King Of Queens it is however a funny film worth watching at least once.Ray Romano and Kevin James show they have a lot of potential and a lot of talent in more than one division of the comedy genre.I enjoyed the slow yet amusing tale of two meat salesmen hellbent on making a sale no matter what the situation so I give Grilled a 6 out of 10 it would receive a 7 if the pace was faster and there was a little more physical comedy.

Um what can I say about this movie... without retching?! We rented it because it had Ray and Kevin in it. Within the first 10 minutes I was already bored by the driving scene. I found the conversation between James and Ramano to be lacking, and uninteresting. I was left wanting more. I was bored by the script, plot, and lame lines. I thought it would be funny, yet I found it continually lame and quite the let down. I found Juliette Lewis' role to be pointless and found the drunk wife scene to be overdone. I am glad it had not gone to theater, otherwise I would've wasted more money than the 4.99 it cost to watch this pitiful excuse of a movie. I am still a Ray and Kevin fan though, and will probably watch their next "big" flick. I also was a bit disturbed by Burt Reynold's and his teachings for his son on how to become a man. Maybe if I was in a different mood, I may have enjoyed this movie more. But I seriously doubt it.
