Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Ana_Banana A film with an apparently fresh start, crude humor (junior high level), unbelievable situations, and a few rather good actors trying to save the sinking boat. If this is humor these days, then I'll pass. It's not about the trashy 'jokes', it's about the unnecessary rudeness, which would hardly ever be tolerated in real life. Take the scene in the cab, for example: a real driver would have kicked them both out in no time.Filmmakers now think the public was dumb, and sadly they are partly right (due to themselves, too). From now on, I'll check the billboards of new comedies for the phrase 'farting jokes free comedy'.But the worst thing is that a movie with jokes about sticky panties and smelly fannies becomes mushy and predictable like your ordinary 'romantic comedy' (we only have 'romantic' comedies now).
Mark Capeman When you set out to make a character annoying, you need to make sure that they aren't so annoying that it becomes tiresome to watch. The writers for "Someone Marry Barry" did not achieve this.I can understand crude comedy. I have laughed at plenty of fart jokes in my time. But Barry and Mel play characters so who are so annoying and unnecessarily crude that it just becomes hard to watch. I found myself cringing way more often than I was laughing, and not the funny "Office" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" cringing, but more cringing at how bad the writing is or how flat the jokes are landing.I'm giving it a 3 just because the actors do seem to genuinely be trying to salvage something from this film. I like Labine, Wayans Jr., and Middleditch. And Amanda Lund had us chuckling a couple of times, but the writing was just so poor that none of the charisma from the actors helped. It might just not be my kind of comedy, or maybe I was just in the mood for something a little smarter. Or... no, this movie just kind of sucked. Trying to shock you with dirty words, or scenes that are not funny but just ridiculous on paper do not constitute good writing or good comedy.
Prismark10 Someone Marry Barry is a bad taste romantic comedy where the protagonist (Barry) is obnoxious, rude and an embarrassment to his friends who have grown up and he has not.The only way they think he can be dealt with if he was fixed up with a girlfriend who will mature him and in a twist of circumstances via a cameo from Ed Helms he hooks up with an English girl, Melanie who is equally crude and obnoxious and they get on like a house on fire. In fact somewhere along the line a house does catch fire!Tyler Labine and British actress Lucy Punch have great fun as Barry and Mel with the rude, crude behaviour which fits a more British slapstick style of low brow humour.However the film is not very funny apart from a farting scene in a van.
joshua kit I see there aren't many reviews for this movie yet. Therefore I should let you know that this is a funny but very crude comedy. Definitely not for the kids. You don't even need to be a prude to be offended by this; I think any normal person probably *should* be offended by the antics of Barry, a chubby party animal, and his socially inappropriate girlfriend Mia, played by Lucy Punch.Tyler Labine handles the lead role with confidence, and whose career looks ready to blast off. Lucy Punch is also very effective as Barry's partner in crime.The film loses a lot of steam in the second half. But there's a steady drumbeat of funny situations to keep you entertained, sort of like watching The Simpsons. Have fun.
