... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreThis film does a good job in adapting Dave Barry's satirical observations on the foibles of the male gender and creates a funny gem of an independent film. Although women would surely see the truth and humor in this film, men would also find it funny.John Cleese, Dave Barry, and Dan Marino all give memorable performances in this film.The tongue-in-cheek humor and the episodic skits are reminiscent of "Hollywood Shuffle."Those familiar with Barry's many books will find the handling of this film true to his brand of humor.
... View MoreIt was a great pleasure to sit along the shore of north Lake Tahoe and watch the only U.S. festival screening of DAVE BARRY'S GUIDE TO GUYS earlier this year at the Tahoe-Reno Film Festival. The pleasure was enhanced by the constant sound of laughter, snickers, giggles, and yes, some outright guffaws, from the opening scenes to the final credits. This is a good sign when watching a comedy, and the film did not disappoint. Written about guys for women the film captures the intricacies and foibles of being a guy and reveals them for the opposite sex. We predict G2G will become the date movie for anyone in a relationship!
... View MoreLast night I watched the world premiere of this movie at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. While it made me chuckle several times, it just didn't seem to be very cohesive. I tended to enjoy the bits set in the modern day versus the silly caveman scenes. Though I am a big fan of John Cleese, his scenes didn't do much for me in this movie. One my favorite bits was Dan Marino explaining proper urinal etiquette. I think that was one of problems, it was more just a collection of bits than a complete movie. Some of the scenes were tied together, but it didn't seem to flow very well. With a $17.50 ticket price for this 72 minute film, I didn't feel I got my money's worth.** (out of 4)
... View More...this is a wretched film. I was at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and I would have booed or shouted crap at the screen but the director and stars were there. I know that they may be reading this but I do not care--I am a Dave Barry fan and I want to protect fellow fans from seeing this film (I guess you can call it a film). Please Please do not watch it for any reason. Stick with your books--this movie will ruin them. It looks like the pilot episode of a TV show with horrible acting and an awful sound design. I know the budget was small, but a talented writer/director should have received these funds and made a completely different movie.God awful...honestly.
