SnoopyStyle Frank Bartlett (Charlie Hunnam) is constantly being humiliated by his drug addicted douche brother Bruce (Chris O'Dowd). Bruce films all of Frank's humiliation including an especially sorry episode of Frank's failed wedding. Now in rehab, Bruce continues to film Frank's worst moments as his film project. Frank has an embarrassing night with Lassie (Lizzy Caplan) who has her own nightmare alcoholic crazy father Jack (Chris Noth).Bruce is a douche, and the problem is everybody enables him. It's as if Zach Galifianakis in the Hangover is treated as the hero. I don't understand why Jordan Roberts thinks it would work. And the fact that Frank is so inept makes him look pathetic. He really NEEDS to shoot his brother in the face.I did like the chemistry between Charlie Hunnam and Lizzy Caplan. The scene in the shed was actually very funny and touching. Sadly, the rom-com was overshadowed by Bruce's doucheness. And Nora Dunn is especially horrible as the mom who sides completely with Bruce. OK don't shoot him, just put a bat to his face. At least in the Hangover, everybody knows Galifianakis is an idiot.

Tony Heck "How is Jack Knowles seeing a movie of a drunken woman hitting me with her bike helping you get your dream Bruce?" Frankie's (Hunnam) brother Bruce (O'Dowd) has just got out of prison and is back in his life. Frankie is not happy about this. His whole life Bruce has been filming Frankie in the worst possible situations. When Frankie has an embarrassing night with a woman he just met his brother films that too. This simple act spirals out of control and ends up affecting everyone involved, and some who aren't. I'm not sure what I expected from this movie but it wasn't this. The movie is funny and I did laugh a few times but it was different then I thought it would be. The cast is funny and the dialog is funny but it is borderline offensive so be warned if you are easily offended. I don't want to say too much because this is the kind of movie that each scene builds on itself and saying something will ruin the flow but it is funny, just different. Overall, not bad and worth seeing unless you are easily offended. I give it a B-.

thepotatoHasEyes Frankie goes boom, sometimes , to me , seems too "real" to be funny, but at that same moment , it makes you laugh, ...so, ...hard to describe, It has a real "grittiness" to the humor,...I kept saying to myself, this is not going to be funny"...and then finding myself laughing ...I am on my third watching, so it has my "re watcher" stamp, but still that feeling remains. "franky goes boom' has the ability to make you uncomfortable, it also has the ability to make you laugh... I definitely recommend "franky" as a comedy , but you REALLY need to have a sense of humor--if not , you wont enjoy.It got a 7 out of ten rating , and a re watcher stamp from me .

Jacquie Angel I almost died laughing when Ron Perlman showed up as a chic! Did not expect that at all! It's awesome to know that Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman can not only co-act in an amazingly dramatic series like Sons of Anarchy and then go and co-act in a movie like this one. Definitely buying this movie so that I can watch it whenever I'm feeling down and out. Loved Lizzy Caplan and Chris O'Dowd also. Haven't seen either one in a movie in a while. Kudos to the director. Loved, loved, loved it! I'm a huge Charlie Hunnam fan and it was utterly refreshing to watch a movie that he DOESN'T die in! Definitely recommending this movie to my friends! Quirky, funny movie. Unique and uplifting.
