peefyn This is a fun and charming movie. The premise of its movie was very of its time, and perhaps even a bit ahead of it. It's about a young man who films much of what happens between him and his friends (the people he shares a flat with), almost like a vlog, and it ends up in the hands of some talkshow produces, who asks to use it as a segment in their show. And this was years before Youtube and smartphones.The best thing about this movie is the characters, as it's a joy to follow them in their adventures. And, perhaps except the main character, they all have a certain depth to them. But then there's the love story to be told, and this part of the movie is perhaps the least interesting. The dramatic dialogue and the situations that arises as a part of the love story, often feels forced and in the way of the fun part of the film: the fun life of the main characters. The "other two guys" (not involved in the love story) have more interesting side plots, that could have easily been the main conflicts of the movie instead of the love triangle it mostly focuses on.This, and the fact that the movie is perhaps a bit longer than it should have been, does not stop it from being a good movie, though.
Avid Climber Buddy is a movie that offers a good mix of laughter, friendship, and romance, with a dash of drama.Compared to a fictive Hollywood version of this flick, its tone definitively much more nuanced. At first the two best friends start as very emotionally immature young men, but without exaggeration. Every character evolves, but sensibly. There are romantic gestures, but nothing over the top. The only thing to muddle those calm waters is at the very end. In real life nobody would do that, but it's easy to excuse it given the quality of the overall performance.The scenario is nothing new, yet interesting enough with a wide variety elements combined in a pretty homogeneous fashion. You'll have a pleasant evening watching this film.
udeaasykle This is a very "feel good" movie, at least that is how i felt after watching it. It is very simple, there is not deep poetic conversations and that is what makes it so easy to like, cause you as a person can relate to what you are seeing. The characters feel really real and easy to like. I give this movie an 8.
chrisbunas Its not every day you see a movie that really gets under your skin! As said before , this movie is so charming with its simplicty! A must-see for everyone with an intressed in real life, and not only the 007 world. Enjoy!
