Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jts0405 This movie to me was a little offbeat. It wasn't what a normal person would write down as a comedy. The story wasn't original at all, leaving you at the video store for a long time deciding whether to bother with this one. The only hilarious character of the film is Jon Heder. For once he doesn't play a nerd like in Napoleon Dynamite or The Benchwarmers. Heder strikes in this one with the same strange persona, but he leads into a less nerdy character. Ben Gourley just plays the regular nerdy main star that turns out to be a huge deal in the end. Mila Kunis also stars as the niece of Gourley's boss. The whole thing is relatively strange and disgusting with the back pimple thing, but it has some slight humor to it. Check it out or don't check it out, either way it doesn't matter.5/10

Fritz_Gerlich This movie was made because the concept translates well into a two sentence summary that can be used to lure investors. That is, the premise is interesting and sellable. I mean, I rented it based on the synopsis. The problem is there is nothing beyond the initial concept. There is no coherent plot, no fully fledged characters, no real comedy, no interesting scenery, no surprises, and no good performances (except Jon Herder, he does something with very little). It's as if the people who green lit this thing never read the script but only the synopsis. And if there were enough people like me, it may even have made money.To the prospective viewer: don't waste your time, there is nothing funny or interesting to see here. To the creators of the film: hey, you got your film made, so what if its not that great. Most people never get to see themselves or their work up on screen.

aajl-1 I just happened on this movie and rented it. I did not hear too much ahead of time about this movie - and it was surprisingly good! Although the plot seemed like it was predictable, it took so many twists and turns that it was good. I liked two things about this movie - the characters - three characters in this movie were quite likable/unlikeable. The actors were great and portrayed their characters perfectly. I also liked the filmography. The angles, the lighting, the dream sequences were really well done! I found it refreshing that this movie was good, clean, fun - no violence, no sex, only characters that you grow on you.

srthompson-1 This movie had so much potential to be hilarious yet moving but fell way short of either. It had a great story line, it just was not executed as good as it could have been. The weird "hallucinations" during his sleep scenes made absolutely no sense and definitely was not needed, they made no impact nor did they enhance or lend any understanding of what was to come or happen.Jon Heder's character was OK but could have been expanded upon more. He played the crappy part he was given at his best. The character was funny, but again, it fell short of what could have been.Mila's character was perfect and her performance was spot on.In closing, the writing was horrible and more often than not, made no sense and his hallucinations did not fit with the movie at all. This movie, with better scripting and directing, could have been a contender to National Lampoon's Vacation as far as funny, bad things happening to a person on a trip across America.Instead, it was only worthy of a second "flush". If I would have seen this at the theater, I would have demanded my money back and boycotted the film.The only thing that this film did was waste an hour and a half of my life. It also managed to make all those involved in the movie look bad, simply because the movie was a stinker.I do not recommend this movie to anyone! Ever!
