The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
It was a cute movie and i got some laughs out of it. would watch again but not rent. there were some goofs but it was good.
I loved this movie for many reasons. It was absurd as a comedy should be. The almost hurling scene, the super creepy Jesse Plemons. The dog mess. The super slow luggage conveyor I probably laughed too hard at. I enjoyed the twist at the end. Lots of unexpectedly clever cinematography. The car door used to change POV when it was opened and closed. The camera following the shaking of the vehicles outside of the car. The fuzzy foreground/background shots creating a look of a model shot even though it's real (gotta learn how to do that). The entire game of keep away with the egg was editing eye candy.
If you are over the age of a millenial you will be so annoyed and disappointed. I love Bateman but clearly he is padding his retirement (and I can't blame him for that). Still reeling how embarassingly stupid this movie was. If you want to see the great sleeper film that i'm guessing was the inspiration for this piece of garbage - check out 1986's April Fools Day.
This would probably amount to nothing but an average comedy film with some fun-to-watch performances were it not for the slick direction from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein it is elevated to something much more. All in all, a great time.
