Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Tanuj Poddar When I decided to watch this movie, I knew it wasn't gonna be great. All I was hoping for, was that it wasn't a plotless comedy with listless acting and lame jokes. Thankfully it wasn't. While there isn't much in the movie, as it is shot pretty much within a house, it still kept me engaged. It was well paced, though could have a bit shorter. Yeah, there are a few scenes showing the lameness of Marlon and the uncalled for relationship between Leo and Darcy, but that is just to pull the plot past an hour. But overall the comedy is subtle and entertaining, hinting at the quirkiness of each character. Its not like a dumb and dumber type of comedy. While nothing great, certainly doesn't leave me with a sense of regret, like some other films in this genre.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of two men who decides to break into a house and steal things while the occupants were out of town. However, unexpected things occur within minutes of their break in, and their seemingly ingenious plan is completely derailed.Most of the film occurs in a single house, but it does not feel boring or monotonous because the house is absolutely beautiful. The three characters are really funny. The story keeps on giving surprises, and it is really fun to watch. The subplot about a waterfall is engaging, because it adds an emotional layer to the story, and prevents it from being just a silly comedy. I enjoyed it.
SashaDarko A story about cringeworthy burglary acted by two no-so-smart thieves, which probably weren't thieves before at all (and their motives are pretty weak too, to be honest). Not a laugh-out-loud type of comedy that's for sure, but it should make you chuckle here and there. The pacing is perfect (it's never boring), the cast is right and the actors deliver their lines just perfectly, with lots of charisma. No truly dumb jokes, no "ass" jokes, just a somewhat old school lighthearted comedy. It's also on the "lightey" side when it comes to the plot and very far from being realistic, with the last scenes going completely "coockoo" and being not believable at all. Still a good entertaining movie which is just pleasant to watch.
screechy_jim I'll make this a quick review because I think this film deserves one. I liked it. Its quite enjoyable and as comedy's go its pretty solid material but it's no classic, nor do I think it will receive any real acclaim.Great performances, story and script are reasonable, but it needed something more... just that little extra something that would have made it rip roaringly funny. It has good well written jokes, but nothing brought me a belly laugh. Well acted, but nothing had me whooping, shaking my head in defensive appreciation or laughing out loud. I think things needed to be dialled up a notch because the humour aspect really needed to be on the next level to make it a comedic success. I don't know humour that well so can't identify the failings, I just know funny when it happens and laugh when something's funny. This one was on the verge, it almost delivered but not quite.Still a reasonable film and worth a watch. I did chuckle in quite a few places and I did enjoy it, but it always threatened so much more and I so much wanted it to deliver.
