NDbportmanfan Search Party is about two friends that have to try and rescue Nardo as well as Nardo's relationship with Tracy. This movie does have a similar feeling to the Hangover movies but Search Party lacks the writing and overall direction of the trilogy. What I found this movie to have that the Hangover doesn't is great comedic actors. This might just be personal preference but I find Pally, Miller, and Middleditch to be a lot funnier with their timing and physical comedy. The overall cast is about the only reason I gave this movie a try. I even got a Garfunkel and Oates song in there so that was another plus. The bad would be the writing as some of the lines were cringing, especially with Middleditch. The movie didn't seem to flow as nicely as the Hangover or for that matter look as sharp. As I said earlier that the three headlines are really funny but their characters were not the best. Pally is supposed to be a semi successful business dude but it never comes off that way. The whole angle of Pally being the put together one of the group didn't vibe with me and it felt out of place. T.J Miller is the typical T.J Miller character so no real complaint there. Middleditch is a combination of Doug and Alan from the Hangover which is fine but they made him overly stupid. So much so that it seemed to downgrade the movie altogether. The supporting cast had some time to shine and I appreciated all of their scenes overall.I would give this movie a pass unless you are a fan of these actors like I am. Even then I would proceed with caution and low expectations.
djmrmusic Listen, I had a good solid beer buzz watching this, same as all the Hangover movies. The Hangover movies? I was busting up! THIS movie?!, well OK, I had a few laughs, I don't regret watching it while a bit on the drunk side, but it's really is just a piggy back kinda rip-off of the hangover movies... grab some brews... catch a buzz, you'll be somewhat entertained, but it's not brilliance, or comedic gold by any standard... it is what it is, an attempt to capitalize on the hangover movies...just really REALLY late...lolwhat else can I say to make this long enough?! get some brews first, it will be a bit funnier that way!
zalciai It's something unexpected happening in Hollywood industry: too many actors? Or directors? Or script writers? Or... all? I don't understand, seriously and honestly, how it's possible to make such movies and how actors agree on filming in them. Also... if you saw the Hangover trilogy, this one tastes so bad... actually a tragedy. It's so embarrassing to watch something like this. One more thing - I tried but could't find any single scene or second to laugh from. I think it's the best way to lose your sense of humour watching such nonsenses - so called 'comedies'- the movie crew and director have no idea what humour is. What I've seen here: tasteless scenes, dull surrounding, middle sound, idiotic script. And the plot. Oh wait, what plot?
IMDB Truth This will inevitably be compared to the "Hangover" movies, as it should, they are very similar... However, I still think that "Search Party" has enough originality to stand alone on its own merit... I wouldn't say it's better than the Hangover movies, but if you're a fan of those movies, then you should like this as much as your least favorite in the Hangover trilogy... It's definitely has its laugh out loud moments... I'm also a fan of "Silicon Valley", so it was a welcome sight to see "Urlich" and "Richard" with leading roles in this movie... The movie was well acted all the way around, with plenty of people you'll recognize from some of your favorite shows... It's a party genre film so there is a lot of drug use in it, but that's to be expected, otherwise it's free of propaganda... It's was an enjoyable waste of 90 minutes...
