SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreGood films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreI saw this at the Schweitzer Lakedance Film Festival in Sandpoint in 2006 and it was very funny. The whole crowd (it was on a Friday Night) laughed and enjoyed it. The Bachelorman is a light crazy sometimes-hip sex comedy that is often over-the-top and sometimes predictable... but so what? Its fun to watch, and thats all that counts.As for someone who could possibly give this film, or ANY film a one star out of ten? I mean take a step back for a second. I've seen some TERRIBLE films, but I've never seen a 1 star film. Generally, the worse it gets the more you can appreciate the camp value.I just heard this got picked up for distribution and I'm really happy. People who want some simple fun adult comedy should pick this up!
... View Morei like comedies. i like all types of comedies that are funny. i like comedies from 'w.c. fields in 'the dentist' (1920's) to 'kung pow' (2000's). that's 80 years of comedies that i like, give or take a few.mclintock, catch 22, sabrina (both), topper, my man godfrey, freebie and the bean, hey, even planet 9 from outer space, i enjoy a good laugh.but here i quote robert wuhl in 'good morning, vietnam', "what is the appeal of joey bishop? i mean, i know funny, and this guy is not funny!"this movie is like the old 'joey bishop show'. it might be interesting, even entertaining, but it is not funny.the people involved with the making of this movie tried to present it as a funny movie, and it's not very funny. it's like they were trying to present us with up-dated versions of lenny bruce (it's sh**, sh**, sh**), and richard pryor (hey, mother f**** n****, roflol that he said mother f***** n*****, right? ain't that a hoot???)how this movie works at all is that the people involved with the making of it have some insights into the human condition, and they have some humorous ways of presenting these insights at times. the movie rings true on some of these levels, sometimes. but it should have been made as a drama, a musical without music, a documentary, an animated featurette, anything but a comedy, because it's just not funny.the makers of this movie are not clueless, except when it comes to being funny.to paraphrase mr. wuhl, 'i know funny, and these people are not it'. i just watched this movie. i had one really great spontaneous laugh from it. this is good, comedy is good. one laugh per movie is a little low on the laugh-o-meter scale.i hope that everybody enjoys every movie that they see. it's just that this ain't likely to be one of them. it's not very good.
... View MoreI first saw the beginning of this movie for 2 weeks ago. But it didnt attract me a bit. Today i gave it another chance. After i watched the whole movie i can only say that i was a good choice because the movie was really good. Good actors.. nice clean story and it felt very personal.My vote 7 out of 10.
... View More...but can I have some?I scored a screener from a friend, and watched it one night when I had nothing better to do. I guess the movie's not actually awful, but it's about as funny as a sprained ankle. It starts out promisingly enough, with some easy (but still funny) sex jokes, but quickly loses its spirit and just gets dumb.Deluise is likable enough, and tries his best to work the hammy script, but the troll who played his friend just drags the movie down. (I see here he's a writer/producer on the film, so I guess that explains the casting.) The actress who plays Heather (recognized her from Galaxy Quest) is sexy and intriguing, but isn't given much of a character to develop. Which, I suppose, is typical of the way this movie sees women. The casting of the network suits was decent though, and I appreciated the attempts to mix up the usual romantic comedy standards with effects and animation, but the movie just falls too flat.I have to wonder, having seen this with my own eyes: Were the other people reviewing this movie just really lacking in critical skills, or do they have some sort of vested interest in stirring up interest in this movie?Either way, I give this a thumbs down. 1 and a half stars out of five. I recommend the Tao of Steve for people looking for a funny indie comedy about relationships.
