Review:
Went
in with expectations held probably a tad too high... And was a little
let down. But I hearts Jason in everything ever, he's just so fucking
sweet! And Melissa, I have genuinely loved since she was in Gilmore
Girls. Also, both their interviews on the Daily Show were
aaaawesooome! So effing funny XD Seeiously though, Jason is too cute!
#BlameBateman
I
really love these outlandish, laugh-out-loud funny kind of films. The
humour isn't too unexpected, nothing that really jumps out and takes
you by surprise, but is safe and just... fun. Which, these days, is
something we don't get. It's been too much of this 'Hangover' type
films that are constantly trying to out do eachother and be more
outrageous than the last. It's getting reeeeeeal old guys.
Unless,
you're expecting any kind of plot that stands or a directorial
phenomenon, then it probably it isn't a film for you. If you're just
expecting a feel good film that is funny most of the time, slightly
awkward and dull in others, then this is for you!
I'm
aware this post is somewhat schizophrenic but what I'm saaaaying is,
it isn't top notch, but it is so worth while! It is funny! Go, go see
it! :D
