A very good movie

Since I kept hearing some good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out and, eventually, I wasn't disappointed. Indeed, in my opinion, it is the best comedy since 'Borat'. To be perfectly honest, most of the time, I'm really critic about comedies. I don’t know, they are usually really stupid and actually not really that funny (the best examples would be 'The Hangover' and 'Bridesmaids' which were both supposed to be great but were eventually just decent at best). Well, this one was fricking hilarious. I mean, honestly, the concept was just really stupid and it should have been a terrible movie but, somehow, it worked really well. The masterstroke was obviously Teddy himself. Basically, all his dialogues were just spot-on and really funny and I also enjoyed a lot his relationship with Mark Wahlberg (maybe it has to do with my massive past as a weed smoker but anyway...). There were some bits here and there that didn’t really work though, especially the whole kidnapping thing involving Giovanni Ribisi which belonged more in a thriller than in a comedy and, to be honest, I thought that Mila Kunis character was slightly a bitch. Indeed, imagine you spend 28 years of your life with your best buddy but you agree at last that he has to move out so you can focus on your relationship, that’s fine, but obviously, afterwards, you would still want to hang out with him which would be quite natural but, in this case, she insists he has to drop him all together. Anyway, those were some minor flaws, I had a blast watching this and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
