Raghav Kumar "The Truth About Average Guys" is definitely close to being the best low budget comedy of 2009. Revolving around an insecure goodhearted protagonist and his best friend. If you like hot women like the rest of us but cant seem to talk to them, one watch of this movie would steam enough courage into you to get you shot down after an attempt rather than before, for a change. Jason Schaver's makes an exceptional debut performance. Ken Gayton does exquisite justice to his particularly AVERAGE character.The movie's a laughing riot perfectly synchronized with sensibility.P.S. If you find it difficult to like this movie, then your not human.
Chris I don't know where all this reviews come from, just watched this movie and must say: One of the worst movies ever!Don't get me wrong, its a nice movie, and the actors really try and Erika Walter is gorgeous, but the script, the lighting, the colors, the choreography, cutting, dramaturgy, casting, production design, closing credits, even the graphic design for the film poster, everything seems more like a high school project.If i would not have read all the positive reviews and was curious what might happen to get them, i would have stopped watching the move after 20min...But: Nice Idea, and with some tweaking the script could become a nice one for a good movie...Maybe this movie is genius and i simply don't get it, but until this is proved i have to stick to the above written!No hard feelings, i love you guys!
dfeenz As long as you are not easily offended (and if you are, you are likely missing out on a ton of great comedy), this movie will definitely tickle your funny bone. It's like a super-amateur production of a Judd Apatow type movie. The best part is, the miniscule budget very rarely hurts the movie because the script is filled with hilarious interplay and dialog, so even shoddy acting, lighting and cinematography can't bring it down! It's not just "good for it's budget," it's just good. It's squarely aimed at guys in their mid twenties, and it makes the most of its one-joke premise by not making the faux-retardation scheme the actual focal point of the movie. Rather, the main character's relatable group of friends, combined with awkward interplay between male and female, and a playful, almost surreal tone, is where the movie really succeeds. While it is most definitely a stupid movie with a stupid title, "The Truth About Average Guys" is an absolute treat and if it had bigger names and a bigger budget, it would have been a hit that could sit comfortably in cineplexes alongside such movies as "Knocked Up" and "The 40 Year Old Virgin."
james00769 This movie starts out slow, but the comedy quickly picks up about 10 minutes into the movie. At first I thought this movie was going to be about making fun of people with disabilities, but it wasn't like that at all. Sure there were some parts that may offend some people, but I feel like you could say that about any great comedy. This movie reminds me a lot of the Judd Appatow movies, but with Farrelly brother's moments mixed in.The low budget is noticeable, but never takes away from the film at all. You can notice it in some underlit scenes and muffled sound, but the acting in the movie is solid across the board. If you are looking for a good laugh, then this movie has to be on your list.
