That was an excellent one.
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreYou've seen these story beats a thousand times in a thousand scenarios. This movie brings nothing new to the table. There are several good jokes to fill in the generic "this happens here because it's just that part of the story" spots of the script, but by the last third of the film it feels like no effort was put into making anything interesting. For every one funny joke or concept there is one and a half cheesy moments or god awful extras. Not as bad as it could have been, but certainly far from good.
View MoreI love to watch Garret Dillahunt and Meryl Streep because they can sell any role. With other people I just want to see them do what they do. How much range have we gotten from Clint Eastwood or Mike Myers? Well, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson give us exactly what we've come to expect from these guys. So Google gets a plug here, do you think we live in the Star Trek universe? Capitalism, it's a thing. Look it up. It's not like this is a first in movies, for 40 years the '77 Trans Am has been my dream car. This movie has great eye candy, outstanding naked eye candy, a good cast AND true to Google, none of the funny you came looking for is ad-free. It's basically a feel-good comedy. The only surprise in this movie is that these two clowns actually manage to deliver on the feel-good aspect. The Internship is a pretty good flick that I can watch every 2 - 3 years.
View MoreAny comedy film with more than one or two montage sequences, backed by a familiar or quirky pieces of pop music, sets off an alarm in my head.It's a sure sign of a lazy script that hasn't been worked through properly. The writer can't think of decent dialogue to move the plot or characters from A to B and so resorts to a montage to produce a "magical" transformation in the characters point of view.I like Vince Vaughns shtick, but unfortunately far too many of his movies resort to this shallow technique to move the plot along, instead of spending a bit more time and working out how to tell the story properly.I may be wrong, but I think Wedding Crashers had only one major montage I can recall, but in films like this and "Delivery Man" the whole second half of the film seems to consist of them.I've seen "Swingers" and "Made", so I know you can do better Vince, so please try harder in future!PS Is going to a titty bar, where people are friendly to anyone as long as they get paid, really the answer to overcoming social awkwardness?
View MoreThis movie was good, albeit a little cheesy and at times, unnecessarily risqué. However, I really liked it. Tbh, I watched it for Dylan Obrien because he's awesome (Watch Teen Wolf- its not what you think its actually really good). As a "young person" I felt like I could relate to the students in the movie. This may be a case of product placement, but I don't think it detracted from the movie. (Plus, Google is pretty cool. It has become a verb- that''s sure proof of success.) I actually loved the fact that it was set in Google headquarters or whatever it was- it was a clean, spacious environment that didn't feel stuffy. Basically, easy to watch and fairly uncomplicated, cliché but so so relatable, absolutely hilarious, and Dylan rocked it! I definitely recommend it.
