Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I will first off admit that this movie does not try to "take' YOU ANYWHERE OR deliver any social messages , it is just two brothers , one trying to help the other get over an ex . i didn't expect much , i watch a lot of movies , although the plot is thin the characters are engaging and interesting enough. to me, a comedy is not a good comedy unless you are laughing ten minutes in , this movie has funny opening scenes ,it is kinda typical in that it has its bathroom humor and gratuitous nudity but i was laughing right off the bat and regularly throughout.some of the jokes that could possibly be considered old are approached from a different angle and caught me with timing that i was not expecting --creating surprise and spontaneous laughter this ones going on my classics/repeat watch list ---

I have never been fond of watching obvious hilarious intended American teenage movies such as scary movie, American pie, etc etc.the thing is, even the trailers of the above mentioned features were not convincing or pretending the real movie to be any better than those four trailer minutes....when I saw the trailer for The Long Weekend, I got a whole different idea.......it seemed like a fast paced cool and worthwhile comedy movie to me.....last night I rented the DVD, but sadly the whole thing was more than disappointing to me.To cut it shortly: if you've seen the trailer---you have literally seen every 'funny' moment of this film...the sad thing is, in the real movie the 'funny' moments take sooooo long to build up .....you see them coming for miles (hence, having seen the trailer) I don't have anything more to say about this film, except: If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the whole movie, only better, faster, and shorter....Films like these make me wanna scream: FERRIS BUELLER.....WHERE ARE YOU...???!!!!!

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.

Well what can I say, if you're going to watch this and you're really into a great epic you'll be disappointed. But if you hold in mind that this came from the makers from American Pie you know what's coming to you.It's a shame Chris Klein hasn't have his chance to shine on his own because he really isn't a bad actor, he's just getting deals to sh*tty movies I guess.About the movie, story isn't that deep. Jokes are many based on sex and farts but it's a good movie to kill a rainy Sunday evening with.The outtakes were the best in my opinion so don't walk raging out of cinema just yet..
