I enjoy an excentric, silly film, but damn, this shit tested my roof for what is enough over-the-top for me. Anyway, many times the movie is not as funny as it's supposed to be, but definitely it's an improvement over the first one. Here the stonerish, fantastic premises of Redbull and cocaine are left behind for plain and simple suspension of belief, which in my taste works better. In the same way, the humor depends more on gratuitousness than in tropes (or dumb ass stereotypes) directed to a very determined demographic. Not that the tone of both movies are two complete different things, but when you have a weak concept and you have to work in it for a sequel, you can actually end up giving it some content, as imo happens with the Fast and Furious and American Pie franchises.
Damn, and that's coming from someone who liked Natural Born Killers. Think I should recheck what is enough over the top for me maybe? Anyway, the movie has more legit funny parts than the other one, especially
Your Average Joe's generic Hollywood mindfuck. You can tell it was made by a not-so-bright white boy, hence the stereotypes, simple as a motherfucker. For the way homosexuals, non-white people, women, street violence, and drugs are portrayed, you can tell neither the writter nor the director have much experience with any of them. I mean, fair enough, a movie sometimes needs just to be funny, but this sure wasn't; unless you are one of those people who liked The Boondock Saints. In that case, ignore this comment.
No doubt that Americans, be white boys or not, have the right to make love letters self-congratulating their own specific demographic experiences. Though, when it's the 100000th time already, the rest of the world shouldn't owe them a bit of attention.
I find Michael Moore's documentaries to be utterly sad. You know, when you're a leftist (or me, at least) you are kinda used to be in a state of perpetual anger and forget to stop and think ultimately your political stance comes out of compassion. To see that the people of the United States, or from my own country for that matter, are less trusted by the State than prisoners in all the countries this film shows is utterly sad, it touches the soft spot. We're somehow used to be treated and treat the others as animals, and we don't take a moment to think that just maybe we're burnt out by our jobs and duties. It's shit, it's dehumanizing, and ultimately it rottens ourselves. When I was watching that section of the German maternity protection programs and the Italian vacations I was freaking out thinking that the State just shouldn't allow that kind of stuff. I don't know up to which point we see ourselves simply as things that work. And that's sad.
Dada "the cardio machine" 5000 is a shameless, money-hungry bum and he fights like shit. Srsly though, and when he tries to make himself clear when he's asked about putting people in risk he sounds like a fucking manchild who doesn't has idea of what's going on. The other guys put their health on the line for what, $100 and French fries? Fuck that dweeb and that self-promoting bullshit by the end.
See, for the bad reputation and the kinda comments this movie have had, I expected something much more awful. It's certainly no masterpiece, though, the target audience is fucking teenage girls, but if you think about it, there are literally hundreds of movies which can receive the same or worse critiques as Twilight that just don't call anybody's attention (aka 99% of romcoms and American TV).
I feel the lead's "bad acting" is just ok. That character isn't meant to have any personality, and, if she did, it is relatable to a lot of teenagers who are pretty much as "alienated" from a more mature pov. Yeah, it's rushed and awkward, but let's not act like movies where a trainwreck gets with a charming, millionaire, loving, sensible, interesting, always well-dressed, funny, and successful bodybuilder who can read a woman's mind portrayed by some Ryan Gosling aren't.
Jeez man, if nobody dissed on this movie, I'd probably have hated every minute of it, but u know what? Everybody's been incredibly hyperbolic about Twilight. I've watched romantic movies deemed as masterpieces that are more idiotic than this one. I don't see how it's the worst movie ever or else, and I think it even delivers in its own right. Seriously though, Chris Nolan flicks have shittier exposition dialogue, and I even read someone say the OST is bad?
Not saying the movie is a masterpiece, but come the fuck on.
