When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

After watching this film, and seeing how awfully low the ratings were, i need to ask .. WHY ? Why is this film so maligned? OK, Get A Job is not the most creative script i have watched; GAJ is the story of two college graduates that, like every graduate, are the best of the bestest until they actually try to enter the workforce, where they find that they are actually worthless. So their plans to be a successful couple go awry, and the only way to solve this problem is to GET A JOB !!Obviously they are a bunch of misfits who, instead of repenting their ways and bow their heads in acceptance of the misery of employment, use their mischievousness to hatch a brilliant plan which they then execute flawlessly, and everyone lives happily ever after.which is the same plot of about 90% of the comedies you'll ever see.Like i said, it's not really super-creative. It is, however, funny.Miles Teller (the Whiplash guy) and Anna Kendrick (the Mr Right girl) do a fine job of their material. The supporting support well, the direction is good, production is excellent, the dialogue is funny, the story has good pacing, the ending could have been done a bit better but it's still pretty good.So .. i liked this film - very much. It's a feelgood comedy that will leave you mildly happy for a day or two, and there was nothing bad that might upset you. Anna Kendrick is adorable as always and Teller is.. decent; comedy suits him, he just needs to grow into it. Would recommend to almost anyone.My vote: 7/10 - a harmless little comedy, very well made.

Get a Job stars, Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick. The story follows predominately Tellers character Will Davis as he and his flatmates and dad try and get into the world employment. Kendrick plays the Will's more successful girlfriend, Jillian Stewart. As the film develops you go through the run of the mill humor, Vomit, toilet and embarrassment which really puts the film down. Additionally you follow Will's father , Bryan Cranston, as he attempts to get the job of his dreams after being let go of his previous employ. Clearly the script writers were showing the older generation were having the same problem as the youth, this made the older storyline seem more of a joke (bad hair dos etc) Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick though playing a couple had no chemistry what so ever, which makes the couple dynamic a little strange to watch. Teller struggles to play anything that doesn't have a comedic undertone, the serious parts therefore are lacking any empathy or oomph! The other characters seemed to fade into the background a fair bit or the issues were resolved and forgotten only to be revisited in the last 30 mins of the film in order to make the morality of the story true. Which would be don't settle and go for what you believe in.

This movie was entertaining. Nowhere near as bad as some are saying. Get a Job doesn't take it self too seriously. From the get go the pace of the film keeps constant and at no time did it feel like it slowed down. It has a lot of heart and its not a movie that has jokes coming at you from left and right non stop through out the movie but the story telling and the comedy that it does have is more than enough. It relies more on its story telling than its comedy which i found to be a good thing. All actors and actresses worked well together and the acting was very solid. It was exactly what i needed on a Friday night as i said earlier it has a lot of heart and at the end the movie entertained me and was a lot of fun. If i had to describe the movie i would say its a feel good movie. Its message at the end really hit home with me, the music used through out the movie worked and complimented the movie when needed. For what it is it did not disappoint.

I do find Miles Teller funny and entertaining. He's kind of this generation's Vince Vaughn especially describing him in this movie. He plays Will, a 22 year old straight out of College who is the voice of this upcoming generation, but he's not saying much, which is saying a lot about this generation. Teller heads up a weak ensemble cast of characters that poke fun of a generation of American children who were built up with false confidence as children and developed into privilege underachievers due to it. I did enjoy watching these kids get slap in the face for expecting everything just because they put their hand out for it.The movie also attempts to be more diverse with the unemployment situation with supporting actor, Bryan Cranston playing Will's father, a man who got fired after over 20 years on the job and his attempts to find a new job in a world that thinks her too old. This little add in I did enjoy and added some surprising heart to this fickle frat boy comedy.Speaking of fickle frat boy comedy. Anna Kendrick is on the poster of this movie as if her part had any sort of importance. The movie was very focus on young men trying to Get a Job and has Kendrick's character more as a supportive girlfriend, which I did not like, because she's the same age as the boys going through the same stuff and they are not treating her as a equal to the others, as far as the story goes.But the biggest issue Get A Job has is that overall the movie misses the point it's trying to make. I don't know if they were force to go with a Hollywood formula or whatever, but they spend the whole movie telling us what's wrong with this generation and how unperfect they are only for their lives to become perfect. Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and it's actually a very non-Hollywood formula, because a bunch of stuff happen without anyone learning anything in the end. The movie does have a bunch of big laughs in it from some actors I enjoined seeing on the screen, but overall, Get A Job does not say much and leaves me hating that generation even more.
