Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

John Flynn Half in the Bag is the most disappointing thing I've seen since the day I saw my hamster ejaculating to All About That Bass video. This show was made by people who have no understanding of things like humour and consistency. This show is teeeerrrriible. This show made me kill my hamster. (My hamster hated this show, by the way.) I can't believe that this show was made by the same creative megaminds who made Space Cop. This has to be the biggest downgrade in quality since the day Microsoft outsold Mac. This show is awful. Don't watch it. Mike and Jay (and especially that sexy Mexican gay man Rich Evans) are awful. They lack sense of humour. They're teeeerrrrible. Don't. Watch. It.

Reamusray I started watching Half In The Bag 2 years ago. Watching the channel grow has been a true pleasure since this is by far the most hilariously inappropriate yet also professional blend of comedy gold and satire.The set-piece of "Lightning fast VHS" is a brilliant addition adding a lot more creativity than your average YouTube channel that deem their reviews to be "hilarity's". We follow Mike and Jay, and Mr.Plinkett, an otherwise unsettling and sinister old man who like to make love to his pets and abuse hookers. Mike and Jay both play the parts of VHS repair men looking to extort money from Mr. Plinkett by attempting to repair his VHS. Those Female Russian Terminator tapes ain't gonna watch themselves you know! I wont go into a lot of details, since you really have to watch this show to enjoy and admire its sheer levels of comedy that make you question "Why is Adam Sandler so rich, when these guys are far more hilarious?!". Speaking of that con-man, I would advise starting with the wet yourself.One last note also - Rich Evans is a majestic human being. Every street corner should contain at least one Rich Evans. His laughter is like butter to the ears...Love it! 10/10

Michael O'Brien The guys at Red Letter Media know two things: movies - from David Lynch to Michael Bay - and comedy. Half in the Bag, one of RLM's several media ventures, is a movie review show that features comedy skits, great homemade sets, and simple - but effective! - special effects. Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman are the hosts of Half in the Bag, two Milwaukee natives with a shared love of beer and movies. They are often joined by their jovial friend with the crazy laugh, Rich Evans, and host of colourful side characters (such as the Emperor from Star Wars).Half in the Bag takes place in a weird reality where aliens, ghosts and sex robots are not uncommon. Mike and Jay play VCR repairmen who barely work and love taking advantage of their elderly client, Mr. Plinkett (Rich Evans). They exploit old man Plinkett for his house, money, booze, and medication. When they're not in their VCR repair shop or being pursued by government agents, the guys film Half in the Bag in Plinkett's living room. They usually review two current movies per episode, though some movies occasionally require their own episode (see The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus). The show is defined by it's fantastic wit, insane humour (ranging from dry to completely bizarre), and genuinely insightful views on movies and the film business. Whether discussing an indie film or the latest comic book blockbuster, Mike and Jay always have something intelligent to offer. Episodes such as '#40: Sinister and Paranormal Activity' and '#21 Jack and Jill' are prime examples of the hard work that goes in to the production of Half in the Bag; wacky plot lines, legitimate actors, sets, special effects - these guys go above and beyond to deliver a great review and an entertaining show.I'd recommend Half in the Bag to anyone who loves movies, unusual comedy, and drinking beers with their friends. If you're an alien and you don't like any of these things, there's always Rich Evans' laugh.

TheSeaLion Set up like a comedy show from the 70s or 80s, "Half in the Bag" shows, like the "Plinkett Reviews", that there is a fun way to review films. Adding in ridiculous subplots and bringing on guest stars every now and then, "Half in the Bag" is a great way to get a review of a movie and be entertained at the same time.The story bases around a very simple idea that sounds like it could be a sitcom which the show is based on, about two VCR repair men, Mike and Jay, who are scamming Mr. Plinkett (Rich Evans) by pretending to fix his VCR while instead, they review movies and trash his house.With the internet series, Redlettermedia displays their creativity, their humor, and their knowledge of movies all in one place.
