TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Mardi Mars Do not understand the bad reviews, this is a really funny and feel good film.
zif ofoz Here's the plot - Unemployeed architect's wife finds a job for her husband online as a delivery driver, but the product to deliver turns out to be three exotic female sex performers. Oops! That wasn't explained in the ad online.Surely something funny is about to happen. Jason Biggs plays the sweet innocent husband that just wants his 9 to 5 job. He stumbles into a job in which he is 'on call' all night for the sexy hard nosed girls. There's horny students having a party, thugs, car chases, lots of action that is suppose to be funny. But funny never arrives here in this flick! Biggs looks like he's doing this role for the money and everybody else looks unrehearsed.It's too bad Directors: Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse couldn't pull it together because I'm sure 'on paper' this story looked fun and funny. This flick is more funny to talk about with your friends than it is to watch; but you have to watch it to talk about it.Ugh!
spmact This film wasn't terrible. Not at all. But it wasn't anything special either. I had a decent enough story (apparently based on a true one), and was executed well enough (though I really don't think a smart guy like Guy would have made the bad decision he did at the end).Jason Biggs was the only reason I watched this movie, and he was the best part of it, playing basically the same character as American Pie. The only parts that made me laugh (2 or 3 times) were from him. Otherwise, the film was basically forgettable. I didn't regret watching it, but I could just as well have watched something else and not regretted missing this either.This doesn't have a rating listed, but for those wondering it would pretty much be rated R because of language and sexual content (though I don't really remember anything above PG-13 nudity).
subxerogravity Not a bad movie at all but nothing to get excited over. It's very bland in it's implantation of the plot.I've seen this before. The economy is bad and Jason Biggs plays a highly college educated man who can't get a job in his field. He can't wait any longer, because his out of work wife is having a baby, and they have no insurance for it, so he takes the first job that's offered to him: A job as a driver for a group of strippers.Jason Biggs was right for the role as the main protagonist. He brings a sweetness to the whole movie. His innocence is believable without being too melodramatic.I thought it was interesting that they did not bring up the strippers dark side to why they became strippers. Early on the movie explains it's about the money and it's good money and it's a job and nothing else, which is pretty much the prime basis of the movie is that everyone needs a job. It's not that the dark side of stripper would have added anything to the light comedy, it's just one cliché they seem to have left out.I did like how the strippers were portrayed in the film. It's very new era, showing just how in control they are of the situation, which is how it should be and hope that the film statement of being semi-true is getting that accurate.Plus all the girls were sexy, especially Bria Murphy. can't help to cross my mind what Papa Eddie thinks of the film.Anyway, the story has the potential to leave a mark, but it's not a decent enough comedy. You'll watch it, have fun, and a minute later forget all about it.http://cinemagardens.com
