VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Wizard-8 Despite starring (and being written by) Brent Butt, who was the star in the highly rated Canadian sitcom "Corner Gas", "No Clue" was only given a small theatrical release in Canada (and got a very tacky- looking poster to boot.) Watching the movie, it's pretty easy to see why the distributor was not very gung ho. It fails due to one big problem, that being that the movie simply isn't funny. At its best it just gets to be mildly cute, certainly never hilarious or even provoking mild chuckles out of the audience. Much of the humor is written to be pretty predictable and familiar. Butt's screenplay certainly shoulders most of the blame for the unfunny nature of the movie, but Butt also stumbles in the lead role. His shtick of coming across as a somewhat dumb motormouth gets old very fast, and he quickly becomes somewhat irritating and annoying. To top it off, while the movie thankfully does not have the tacky and cheap feeling of most other Canadian movies, it all the same has the look and feel of a television production instead of a theatrical movie. Is there anything good to say about this movie? Well, unlike many Canadian films, it admits to being set in Canada and thankfully at the same time does not make a big deal about it. Though all the same, most Canadians will consider the movie as a whole yet another example of the poor state of the Canadian film industry.
SnoopyStyle Beautiful damsel Kyra (Amy Smart) comes in and hires Leo Falloon (Brent Butt) to find her missing video game designer brother Milles Severeign. The problem is that he's not actually a private detective. He's really a specialty products salesman. Ernie (David Koechner) is his friend. He's taken with the beauty and accepts the case. He finds a dead body. Kyra seduces him to continue investigating. Reese Horn (Kirsten Prout) claims to be Milles' girlfriend.The directing is strictly unimpressive TV production level style. The humor is dead panned from Brent Butt. He's not a big performer and that holds this back. In his show, he's more or less a regular nobody. He's perfectly likable but he's not cinematic enough. It's a low grade movie with some light humor.
shominy-491-652355 We did not know what to expect when we rented this film last year. I'm sad and embarrassed to say that, at that time, we were not familiar with actor Brent Butt but we immediately loved him in this film! We enjoyed every second of this comedy! Brent is hilarious as the unassuming salesman accidentally thrown into the life of a P.I. David Koechner is hilarious in every movie - and a real treat as Brent's crazy best friend. After we rented this movie and enjoyed it so much, we had to buy the DVD, and we've watched it twice since then. A good comedy like this can be watched again and again. There are too many hilarious moments to even comment on. The editing is perfect and the movie moves so fast - never a dull moment! The clever writing/dialogue and Brent's narration during his detective work is hilarious! The entire cast is absolutely perfect! This film will not disappoint! The world needs more comedies like this! Enjoy! P.S. Please make a sequel, Brent!
castor_b Alright, listen up. Or read up, since you're reading. And since you can read, that should mean your ability to process words is working. That's actually a good start. This is a very funny movie- and no, Brent Butt is not going to win any acting awards, but his delivery as an unsophisticated but clever novelty salesperson mistaken for a Dick is perfect. Amy Smart as the damsel with more to her story is the perfect straight-man to Leo's bumbling, and I liked Kechner as his friend a funny soundboard. And for fans of Corner Gas, Brent's other half is funny and very Wanda-esque. And for those who aren't Corner Gas fans, don't watch. Your sense of humor isn't properly suited for this film.
