An average movie

Posted : 10 years, 3 months ago on 5 February 2014 11:12

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Danny McBride, I thought I might as well give a try. Eventually, I’m not sure what to make of it after watching it. I mean, on one hand, there was some kind of surrealistic vibe to the whole thing, like watching a very slow trainwreck. But, on the other hand, the jokes were always rude and often very lame and I always find it difficult to care for a comedy when the main character is an obnoxious moron. Recently, a little bit in the same genre, I saw ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ and, even though it was nothing amazing either, I could somehow find Napoleon amusing and intriguing. In this case, there was not one redeeming quality to this Fred Simmons and it made the whole thing sometimes rather cringe-inducing to behold. Still, Danny McBride goes all the way and gave a solid performance as one rather pathetic man and it definitely opened many doors for him. To conclude, I’m really not sure about my rating, it might be terribly generous but, somehow, it remains a rather odd comedy and I guess it might be worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
