Thanks for the memories!
Absolutely Brilliant!
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Ooh Barry .... as much as he's irritating and stupid .. he is so funny and he's this guy who you'd probably known sometime ago ;)The plot is fresh and new ,, their are a lot of hilarious scenes ,, the writers did a freaking great job.The cast is fine,, Tyler Labine is amazingly funny with his weird bearded look i'v watched him in "Mad Love, Sons of Tucson and Reaper" and it's the same funny irritating character, He and "Lucy Punch" made an awesome couple... Damon Wayans Jr., Hayes MacArthur,Brett Gelman and Thomas Middleditch ,they all also did a great job.Overall the movie was really nice,, even though by the first look you might not see a well-known Cast but they were mirthful to watch.
You know that embarrassingly juvenile friend you can not shake? Magnify him by a thousand and you get Barry.His three friends can not take it anymore and think if he just found someone then they could be rid of him. And that's how you get: Someone Marry Barry.It's not that Desmond, Rafe and Kurt hate Barry. They just don't want to be active friends with him anymore. Their camp mate friendship with the 'inappropriate dude' from elementary school doesn't justify a friendship that should have faded away long ago.Barry is not necessarily a bad guy, he is just an embarrassment, a detriment to their livelihood and reputations, a social wrecking ball. Tyler Labine is pivotal to the success of this movie, his likability makes Barry's antics not completely intolerable and at times endearingly oblivious. Labine plays the crudest, lewdest, bluntest character imaginable but the film isn't at all cheap or grotesque. His friends, played by Wayans, MacArthur, Middleditch. are not malicious and the search for Barry's mate comes from a place of desperation and love; keeping the film light and entertaining. Damon Wayans Jr. is the comedic star of the trio and I can't wait to watch his career progress.All plot points and scenarios are sufficiently ridiculous for a comedy but written by Rob Pearlstein to be cohesive with the story. Someone Marry Barry is about a crass man meeting his equal and opposite in a mate so the humor is offensive and perverted by nature.After Barry meets his love interest Mel, played by Lucy Punch, the film slows down significantly. The main source of entertainment and humor, the friend dynamic and their interaction, changes with the addition of Mel and 'find him love' dilemma removal.Someone Marry Barry is a unique and refreshingly light comedy but is not for everyone.More reviews at our website!
Great Comedy, which i s'pose would be categorised as a romantic comedy. However the romance side is out weighed by the comedic side for sure. The Lead roles work together beautifully, believable, and more importantly funny together. I first saw Tyler Labine in the series 'Sons of Tucson', which then lead me to 'Tucker and Dale'. When I saw his name pop up in the description, I new that I would like it. He did a great job as Barry in this movie and I am looking forward to seeing him in 'DeadBeat'.Lucy Punch is as equally inappropriate, crass and FUNNY, as her male lead. Her British accent, to me, made things more amusing.Damon Wayans Jr. is another great addition, as well as a nice cameo from Ed Helms.Don't get me wrong, this IS a crass and crude comedy in parts, romantic comedy in parts, but on the whole, a great movie. I enjoy the style of comedy in these movies, and this was no different. There were many laugh out loud moments and one particular scene where I admit I was in tears.So do yourself a favor, if you enjoy unexpected, un 'hyped' comedies, check this one out.Ya Twunts
This film tells the story of a socially awkward man who meets a woman who is completely compatible with him."Someone Marry Barry" is a romantic comedy with a twist. The protagonist is a rude, juvenile and very annoying man, and everything he touches turns into dust. Despite him being so unlikable, he is still adorable and charming because he is genuine and fun loving. I have this interesting ambivalence of feelings towards him, which makes the film engaging."Someone Marry Barry" is an entertaining romantic comedy. I did not find it offensive or rude, even though the contents are offensive or rude. It manages to find the right tone and balance between humour and rudeness, it's offensive and rude in a non-offensive way. I enjoyed watching it.
