Good concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreThere are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIt's a totally absurd and low-brow film poking fun at the tour de France. If you're a fan of subtlety or only enjoy sophisticated humour, don't bother. I personally thought it was a riot. It looked like the actors were having a blast and all the cameos of sports stars not taking themselves too seriously were brilliant. At only 40 minutes or so in length, the joke didn't wear too thin and I was giggling all the way through.
... View MoreWell, these kinds of mockumentaries can be a bit hit and miss. Suffice it to say that this one is simply brilliant. I was laughing out loud the whole way through. The cast is stellar and they have a riot. Who knew Cena could do comedy so well? Orlando Bloom was hilarious and I didn't recognise him at first! Tyson really have poke fun at himself, too.The running gag, involving a certain well-known cyclist is really well done, too.I think HBO may have struck a rich seam here. There are all kinds of sports stories that could be hilarious mockumentaries if they let Andy Sambergh loose on them.Really, watch this!
... View MoreThe humor is juvenile and crass, just how I like it. If you've seen "7 days in hell" you know what to expect from this. Lots of good cameos here. Nathan Fielder was a pleasant surprise. If for some reason you haven't seen "Nathan for you" check it out, it's a brilliant show. I nearly died when he lifted that guy over his head.
... View MoreThis mockumentary has its moments but a lot of the jokes in here fall flat unfortunately.The Lance Armstrong cameo started off as pretty humorous but quickly descended into a stale one-joke cliché. (How many times can we make a joke about how he can't be seen on camera?) I think they really missed a good opportunity to do a lot more with him.For the amount of talent there was in this movie, I'm a little disappointed with the end result. I think James Marsden was really one of the only few bright spots for me. There was not enough Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Bacon, or Danny Glover in this for my taste.Not a complete waste of time but also not recommended. If you're a cyclist maybe you'll enjoy it, I don't know.
