Prismark10 Get a Job is a so-so movie that was shot in 2012 but only released in 2016 when most of its cast became famous in the interim period.It is mainly about college graduates entering the uncertain world of work and how they deal with it. Which is mainly not well which leads to money issues and confidence problems.Will Davis (Miles Teller) thinks he has a job lined up after working as a summer intern only to discover that the firm had downsized and he needs to find another job quickly. His room mates are struggling with their jobs as well. His father (Bryan Cranston) and his girlfriend (Anna Kendrick) both lose their jobs soon after.The youngsters are hard working slackers and it is the employers that are actually presented as vile but the film is not really that funny.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of several young adults and also one of their fathers, who all struggle to get a job or keep a job under the adverse economy.It is good to see a bunch of good and well known actors and actresses in a small budget comedy. I guess the topic of trying to find jobs isn't exactly funny, so the plot contains many exaggerated, unlikely and even unrealistic scenes. I didn't find the jokes particularly funny, but they tried. The initiation scene in the finance company reminds me of "The Wolves of Wall Street", but in here it lacks the intensity. Actually, none of the characters are portrayed to have the intensity and stamina to get upwards in their respective careers, with the exception of the father who is freakishly persistent. Overall, "Get A Job" is a passable option for entertainment.
doogal-05122 wow. I am a massive Bryan Cranston fan. Breaking Bad is epic in no small part to him and I felt Trumbo was a superb performance in this. So we have him and some terrific actors in this dross. What is going on with American films? In the last 7 weeks I have attempted to watch an American movie once a week and only last 30 minutes in each one. This movie had the premise that guys lounging around in a loft ( a rather expensive one) looking over the city and going to strip clubs after a few bongs was meant to be really funny. I feel like taking this movie to a Real Estate Agent and asking them where is my fancy apartment that I did not earn. Miles Tiller was awesome in Whiplash but I think he may have received Whiplash in that movie because he has been quite lame since then. Oh - back to the other movies. One had a 15 year old having sex with her mum's lover. Another was set in a school where students took over and use some of the foulest language towards the teachers. A Tarantino film that has a black guy forcing some cowboy to go down on him in the snow. Then the N word used to an all-time record. Another movie I watched had a lady becoming a spy. It was funny enough, but when she became a spy in the field, she began using the f word 3 times a sentence. Then I watched the Squid and the Whale. One of the worst movies of all times which somehow rated amazingly well on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. It had the least likable characters I have ever seen in a movie. Just awful. The youngest lad in it is pre-teen yet apparently it is funny to see him drink beer, use the worst corse words at his parents and masturbate in a library. What is wrong with the movies that country is putting out. I don't get it and I don't want to.
subxerogravity I do find Miles Teller funny and entertaining. He's kind of this generation's Vince Vaughn especially describing him in this movie. He plays Will, a 22 year old straight out of College who is the voice of this upcoming generation, but he's not saying much, which is saying a lot about this generation. Teller heads up a weak ensemble cast of characters that poke fun of a generation of American children who were built up with false confidence as children and developed into privilege underachievers due to it. I did enjoy watching these kids get slap in the face for expecting everything just because they put their hand out for it.The movie also attempts to be more diverse with the unemployment situation with supporting actor, Bryan Cranston playing Will's father, a man who got fired after over 20 years on the job and his attempts to find a new job in a world that thinks her too old. This little add in I did enjoy and added some surprising heart to this fickle frat boy comedy.Speaking of fickle frat boy comedy. Anna Kendrick is on the poster of this movie as if her part had any sort of importance. The movie was very focus on young men trying to Get a Job and has Kendrick's character more as a supportive girlfriend, which I did not like, because she's the same age as the boys going through the same stuff and they are not treating her as a equal to the others, as far as the story goes.But the biggest issue Get A Job has is that overall the movie misses the point it's trying to make. I don't know if they were force to go with a Hollywood formula or whatever, but they spend the whole movie telling us what's wrong with this generation and how unperfect they are only for their lives to become perfect. Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and it's actually a very non-Hollywood formula, because a bunch of stuff happen without anyone learning anything in the end. The movie does have a bunch of big laughs in it from some actors I enjoined seeing on the screen, but overall, Get A Job does not say much and leaves me hating that generation even more.
