master_chief10 Wow great movie, a prodigy that goes to high-school and meet a washed up guy who teaches him how to lay loose. Alex Wolff and Brenden Fraser does a really good job. They Chemistry is very good and believable. It's great to see the dilemmas of choosing your biggest dreams or your friends. But what are you with succeeding your biggest dreams when you have no one to share it with. But at the same time, he could go to Harvard, have a full ride and get greater education. Some would call it stupid, or brave. But whatever they didn't win in the end. And it's like the same in real life. People from Havard they will bend the rules to their will, and NOW let the lower people in their standard win. I can conclude it was great to see a Brendan Fraser with passion and that he take his live back in his hands. It was very funny to see Alex Wolff his character's mom at the end, funny situation. Must watch for good ethics.
jramza-1 After 1.5 hours, I laughed only 1.5 times (a slight smirk = 0.5). I love Brendan Fraser and nearly every one of his movies (both comedy and drama), but this was beyond doubt his worst movie, and just a bad movie overall. The acting was stilted, the screenplay was underdeveloped, with very poorly written dialogue. The concept has been done many times before (and never so poorly). I'm not exaggerating. The humor was not simply crass and juvenile, but, because the actors clearly appreciated this, they could not even deliver it well. Take my word for it, believe me, and avoid this film; Doubt me, and at least give my review a thumbs up - to warn others.And, for the record, I don't consider it comedy to have a 21-year-old woman, a senior in college, pursuing a 13-year-old child for sexual intercourse, to conceive genius progeny. My god, the boy is 13.
zif ofoz This - "I want to be a funny movie" - almost gets there, but falls short. It's got good script, plot, photography, settings, characters, but it stumbles along and I think the trouble is with the editing. The entire movie is choppy bits of story and few scenes flow well into the next. I'm at a loss to clearly express my feelings; just as this movie is at a loss to be really good.Wolff and Fraser make a good team but the experience of Fraser's background in acting make Wolff appear a bit amateurish (but that is understandable by his age) it just was another problem for me to like the end product.It's fun enough to rent.
Juan Christian Aguirre Contreras I'm sad to say this movie isn't worth the time or money. It is poorly made, boring and just too dull. Alex Wolff doesn't know how to act, seems like he's trying to hard and turns plenty of sequences down by overacting. It's a shame to see Brendan Fraser so far away from his golden years, I mean, he wasn't great but at least did good movies for his target, (George of the Jungle, Bedazzled, The Mummy) but in this try he just flopped all the way, felt totally lost and just trying to get over with it. The script feels underwritten, the characters were like bad cartoons, just uninspired copycats of other great characters from much better movies. At some point I felt I was watching a really under-made Wes Anderson movie. I understand It's an indie film... but please don't make your work look so cheap. No extras, impossible situations, bad acting and an underwritten script. I don't know Billy Kent and there's not much about him on IMDb... I hope at some point he can manage to do a better movie. Just don't watch it and keep your good memories about Brendan Fraser and the kid from The Naked Brothers Band.
