Alicia I love this movie so much
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Sasha Reydman I am an immigrant, so for me "American" film industry kind of simple, predictable, boring, like pop music, it is product line, but for sure there is some diamonds, and No Way Joe is one of them. It is not for sale! There is amazing music! "coach" song - awesome! Lots of information to think about Good actors, good camera man.I wish there will be more movies like this, and not "popcorn" movies that kills your time and then you leave with empty head and wont be able to recall after one year what this movie was about... This movie will leave something in your head and in your heart, for sure! Unfortunately people don't like to think, and movie with guy that jumps and shoot for 2 hours more popular than movies like "no way Jose" You can see it by rating and budget. But there is always people who not run after money, they make movies like this and make this world better! Love you guys!Thank you!
johnathanleigh Jose is a bearded man who plays in an indie rock band. He is encumbered by commitment and behaves like a 20 year old who fears commitment. The soundtrack is bland and also appears to be prepared by exactly who you would expect, a hipster bearded man who is too old, too proud and too distanced from audiences. Resulting in this vanilla, pretentiousness of music that did in no way compliment the film.His relationship with his fiancé is frail and the chemistry is off. Their love story through the use of flashbacks is sloppy. The banter between Jose and his 'quirky friends' is even worse. I am a firm believer in watching a film until the end to see whether or not it can redeem itself. When people say "Nothing really happens." This film is it, look no further. The self awareness in this film is hauntingly void. I question who thought this script was a good idea. I question how he managed to get Gillian. This film left me so confused and unsatisfied. What a terrible way to end a Sunday night.
jim_flowers Drudgery in viewing the trudging acting. My title is nearly as obtuse as this movie! Goldberg's character Jose, nee Joseph Stern is on the lamb from a teenage misstep. He's currently a no talent musician who's band can get no gigs other than children's parties, where he plays unorthodox music, especially for a children's party!After his wife to be, Dusty, who is all about getting married, signs up for the PTA at the local school, to whit she is forward a sexual offender app. She installs it on her phone, instantly, their residence is covered with a red dot, indicating a sexual offender in residence.As it turns out, Jose, was previously convicted for statutory rape when he was 18 for having sex with a 17 year old. Not surprisingly, Dusty is not amused he has kept that a secret and packs his bags. The rest of the movie is an amble through Jose's neurotic mind and dysfunctional life and relationships.Sounds like potential, right? Unfortunately, it's nothing, but potential wasted. As I tagged along on his aimless journey, I was looking for a map on how to get out of this pointless rambling maze.If you have nothing better to do and you've seen everything on Redbox, by all means, pass this up.
Hellmant 'NO WAY JOSE': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)Adam Goldberg wrote, co-produced, directed and stars in this indie dark comedy flick. It was made on a budget of just $1 million and tells the story of a struggling musician, who's dumped by his fiancé; because she discovers a dark secret from his past. The film co-stars Ahna O'Reilly, Eric Siegel, Anna Belknap, Gillian Jacobs and Pat Healy. The material is not nearly as humorous, or as clever, as Goldberg thinks it is!Jose Stern (Goldberg) is a 39-year-old musician, who's rock band can only get gigs at children's' parties. He's about to turn 40 and also wed his longtime girlfriend, Dusty (O'Reilly). While the two are in bed together, one night, Dusty learns a dark secret from Jose's past. What's worse though, is that he's been lying to her about it (since they met). So she dumps him, and kicks him out of their place. Jose sinks into even greater depression; and harasses his friends about it (Siegel and Belknap), while crashing on their couch. I think I used to like Adam Goldberg, once upon a time, but now I think he's just annoying (in this film at least). He reminds me a little of Jay Baruchel; but Baruchel is much more gifted (and funny). This movie is kind of a pain to watch, if you feel the way that I do about Goldberg. His directing isn't bad, and he's still an OK actor, but his idea of comedy just doesn't work anymore.Watch out movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/ItzCr1Etfyo
