reechard Offensive. Bad. So terrible they landed 4 seasons of Eastbound and Down on HBO.Too much profanity. Girlfriend not hot enough. Not enough acting.It's not like its their first project (oh, wait, was it?). Why give these Hollywood types (oh wait, are they?) the time of day or more money to make another (oh wait...)It's not like the lead, McBride, is one of 2 or 3 writers on this show and the other (oh wait...)I've read some positive comments about how people have run into this sort of martial arts instructor in real life. So, their research on the character isn't terrible.All the very bad reviews here show why most can't see past the flaws, to what a brand-new team doing something very original is capable of. Thankfully bad reviews are a dime a dozen and sometimes aren't enough to kill other projects. Its 2 thousand fifteen, people. A bad indie comedy isn't a tragedy, and a first project can be treated with a bit more kindness.
jgibbzy I must have missed something because unlike everyone else i thought this was the worst comedy i've seen in years. Danny Mc Bride maybe OK as a supporting character but a leading man he ain't. His brand of comedy always seems forced, he puts himself in awkward situations and then just spouts random rubbish for 30 to 60 secs and that's it. Every character he plays is rude and obnoxious with no redeeming features, That can also be said about everyone else in this film apart from the two kids. Also if your gonna do a film about martial arts it helps if the lead actor can actually do it. Im not talking about the breaking of the blocks, I'm talking about the one real fight scene where everything is filmed in close so as to compensate the actors lack of ability. If i could id give it a 0/10 i would, if i could be bothered i would sort out the spelling and grammar of this comment but i've wasted enough of my time on this rubbish. I can't believe watching this has made me so angry, probably because I bought this thinking it was gonna be good. So who really wins me moaning after the fact or the filmmakers who've just pocketed another 6 quid and will continue to make more dross like this thanks to me.
Jos B This is the type of movie that gets funnier each time you watch it, just like The Big Lebowski. It takes a while to get a feel for the level of realism (a bit more serious than Napoleon Dynamite), but when you're finally tuned in to the wavelength of the makers, you can almost instantly re-watch it (which will not take up too much time because it's refreshingly short). Once you know the characters are a bit silly, but not trying to generate cheap laughs or thrills (it must have been tempting to let Mr. Simmons totally snap, or have an all out brawl at the hotel room party, or let Mrs. Simmons show some more skin), the story becomes remarkably solid.
clark005-1 This movie is pretty entertaining. I think it was worth the watch. I have to say a few things critically about it without revealing too much about the plot. This movie had all of the makings of a "10" cult film, but falls short. I get it with the plot & the acne & the realism. Also Simmon's adulterous wife was played really well by Mary Jane Bostick. Even though I can't stand adultery in people and usually find myself hating the adulterous characters, I kind of understood hers, because she was so out there that it almost didn't even seem untruthful. I can't explain it but I am fascinated by her acting and I want to see more of her acting hopefully in a different kind of role though. I did not like how Simmon's friend from childhood was crucial to the meeting of the buck the Truck fighter guy, but then fell off that story line. Once their is group confrontation I like it to stay group confrontation. I was actually predicting the old friend to reappear potentially with his old friend to kick the crap out of buck the night before the dojo's big gig. That's not how it works out.
