I love this movie so much

Fantastic!

Admirable film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

College student Sara Quinn (Julianne Nicholson) conducts a study by interviewing men with stories of disturbing behavior. She also starts observing men in the outside world. She has dates with Ryan (John Krasinski).Nicholson is playing it very passively. The interviews are visually extremely static. There are so many men as subjects that none of them are compelling enough to care about. I suspect that the source material is difficult to adapt. John Krasinski may not be equipped to do so much of the heavy lifting. In the end, he did not find a way to translate this into a watchable movie.

There are a lot of good dramatic performances in this film, but sadly they are all wasted since there's no point to the movie that I could discern, no consistent style or character development or anything else you might reasonably expect. It starts with an interviewee who confesses that he involuntarily calls out a ridiculous phrase about political freedom during climax, so you think - OK, it's going to be all-out Python-esque comedy, then nothing else in the movie matches that tone. It seems like a bunch of auditions for different types of movies stitched together, with an after-thought theme tacked on (a woman trying to make sense of her abandonment by a lover). Basically it's self-indulgent film-school pretentiousness masquerading as some sort of deep psychological exploration.

Misogynist Film of the Moment: Brief Interviews With Hideous Men 10 Decsexdrugsmoney.comThis movie has a pretty recognizable cast. A lot of NBC actors were involved in the making of this movie. There's like four people from The Office in it. But its not a comedy. Its like an art house, weird, documentary / drama. A few highlights throughout, but not that big of a story plot, because the plot is all about telling stories. In the movie, the main character, Sara Quinn (played by Julianne Nicholson) is a grad student conducting interviews with various men of different backgrounds for a research paper. This also follows a life changing breakup with her boyfriend. She seeks to discover a reason why men doom their relationships with women by doing this case study. The movie is directed by John Krasinski (jury still out on this guy) who takes some pretty good pictures, but didn't edit right, so slow people might get lost early in. Its a crawler of a movie. The dialogue, which consists of a lot of monologue and testimony, is on point and strong. Some of the characters are endearing, but many of the men serve to reinforce stereotypes of misogynist men in the modern era, and nobody portrays that very well (bad casting-shucks NBC!). At times, it seems like feminist propaganda. But the movie is based on a book by David Foster Wallace, and unless that a masculine pen for a femme, it couldn't be feminist. Well it damn sure ain't misogynist.Quinn unlocks the inner thoughts of the 100 or so men in the clinical interviews where they open up about relationships with women while her personal life turns into a mess (but a polite one. no Hagen-daz or bon bons and hate fests with the girls). In doing so she is hoping to understand why her boyfriend has made her feel so bad. Some like subject #17 blame the women for the failures. Some like subject #30 are happily married and in love (but only because his trophy wife stayed a trophy wife through 50). Some, like #42 and #15, are Freudian cut examples of what a man should be. A student shares a horrific story with her, stretching her notions of manhood, like an outlier on a graph, and she begins to gain insight finally. She thinks she understands it. Men are unique. Men are simple. They say they are unfaithful. They say they are sorry. They are all cowards. She thinks that men only see women as things. But when her boyfriend returns to explain the break-up, she learns the truth about the way men love.2/4 Stars. Worth watching once. But only with your lover as a conversation piece.—— Ryan Mega sexdrugsmoney.com

I was skeptical about watching this movie at first because I had heard such harsh criticism about it. However, after watching it I would highly recommend it! I'm a huge fan of John Krasinski and I wasn't sure if he could direct or even act in a film like this. Normally he acts as "the funny guy" and I'm glad to see that there is a serious side to him. The only problem I really had with this movie was subject number 15 (Michael Cerveris). I wish the scene with him talking about his father had been at the beginning so we could've been introduced to him before the ending. Other than that I have no complaints. This is a movie that you should share with the people around you! :)
