Am I the only one who (kinda) liked it?


I saw this over the weekend and, although I wasn't expecting much, I found myself laughing at this quite a few times! Sure it's not a classic piece of cinema but it's a good time at the movies. I don't know. It's hard to argue with like 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I don't get the hate. We discuss this on the latest episode of the Film Fanclub show. Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think. Thanks! https://youtu.be/GvYhZWJILdY

No you're not! It gets slow and stupid at times...some jokes last way longer than they should...but other than that DeNiro is hysterical

I loved it, I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in a long time. It's crude, lowbrow humor, but it's still funny as *beep*.

reply

No you're in the 7%

reply

Wrong. You and I are in the 51% of moviegoers who liked it. 9% if you only count the critics. Critics are idiots. Those who listen to critics are even bigger idiots.

with all the bad reviews I wasn't expecting much, but I actually liked it

reply

I liked it too.

You are not the only one. I liked it too.

I am still laughing to my self at some of it a few days later which is a good sign, and unusual these days.

Sure some of it didn't not work, particularly when it tried to go a bit OTT DeNiro mas***bat*** is a big example

But overall I thought it was good fun and like an "extreme" Farrelly Bros movie from the 90s, particularly Kingpin, but not as good and a bit clunky sometimes.

6/10 (same as I gave Spotlight).

Eh, I thought it was hilarious. I don't know what all the haters were expecting.

You are not alone! I enjoyed it and I recommend it (for what it is).
