Walk of Shame Reviews

After a wild night out, clean cut reporter (Elizabeth Banks) is left to trek across the gritty urban landscape by herself if she is to get the job of her dreams. The best way to describe the plot of "Walk Of Shame" is by calling it what it is, "The Hangover" by way of "Falling Down" only without the risque, oddball madness of the former and panoply of intriguing incidents of the latter.

This is not to suggest that a pastiche of other concepts being slapped together could never yield a good product, it's just that "Walk Of Shame" is not an example of such. Is it awful? No, not really. It is a trope heavy to the point of predictability, grossly inoffensive (shocking, given the careless use of stereotyping), and mildly enjoyable, albeit forgettable, affair. In fact, the whole running time I kept on thinking how each and every escapade our main character encountered ended up feeling like a missed opportunity. As aforementioned, it is entertaining enough to not make you give up entirely and I admittedly chuckled a few times despite myself but, really, that's it.

Ultimately, all I came away thinking was how great Banks looked traipsing around in a small, yellow dress and that's a shame for an actress of her prodigious comedic talents. To be fair, she does the best she can with the material and does come off an incredibly likable. The rest of the cast too is noteworthy for milking whatever amusement they can out of the material. One wonders how banal and dull this movie would be had it been populated with lesser personalities.

And that's it. Not much more can be said about this movie. It comes and goes just about as you could possibly guess and not long after you'll forget you watched it. The concept alone should of been fertile ground for more inventive humor but it mostly goes to waste on the familiar. The only shame here is when you occasionally do laugh to a tired old gag.

To be honest, since this movie has a rather lame reputation, I wasn't expecting much but since I have a weak spot for Elizabeth Banks, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be indeed pretty embarrassing, especially for Banks. I mean, she is actually a really solid actress and, after playing so many supporting characters though her whole career, she was finally getting the opportunity to play the lead for once but it's such a shame that she chose such a lame project. Seriously, the concept was pretty weak and except for the fact that Banks looked quite gorgeous as usual, this flick didn't have anything else to offer. Basically, the whole idea  was about her walking around LA in a slutty dress and being called a hooker. I mean, how did she come to the conclusion that the end-result would be hilarious? She probably thought that since it was a R rated comedy, it would be a sure hit but she was seriously mistaken. At least, James Marsden was not bad and they had a nice chemistry together but since they spent maybe 10 minutes together, it didn't have much impact. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was a waste of time and you should probably avoid it. 

This movie is quiet hilarious. Also the cast is filled with comedians who are notable for their comedic roles.
"How you kno she be wearing a Mark Jacks dress?"
" N**** it's MARC JACOBS" lolll

I adore Elizabeth Banks so I decided to check this out and give my opinion on the movie. Also it looked to be somewhat funny by the preview. Elizabeth looks really good in this. I think the only really funny parts were the scenes with crackheads. There isn't much to say about this. I found myself bored with the progression of the story. Most of the characters were lame. Elizabeth Banks could pull her own, but the movie was average at best.
