The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View MoreIt's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
... View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreHaving worked in food service this brought back a lot of memories and was completely on target, The main character was a perfect example of somebody learning a whole new world.Food service is one of the hardest jobs out there and one that everybody should experience first hand.There is so much that goes on in food service that the customers never know but should experience first hand.
... View MoreThis movie is bad bad bad. The actng is strained and awkward. It really pains me when you can actually detect people saying their lines. And this trait is not just the main characters, but the entire cast. The story, albeit, cute, is not very believable. Now we get to the cinematography and camera work. I am not a fan of the hand camera technique. I find it unclean,, disruptive. When you are taken away from following the story by trying to get past the bad camera work. The set were cliché, and not very well thought out. I watched this film to the very end hoping it would either improve or have a good ending I am disappointed to tell you, it had neither
... View MoreI like most movies I watch in some way or another. But after this one I feel like ranting. So I will yell in this little box so I can move on with my life. I almost watched it all, but I had to stop myself. I could not ignore the feeling that I was wasting my precious time. The story had nothing to tell about being human. There is no authentic human struggle anywhere. When there was 20 minutes left I turned it off because I didn't care how it ended. I didn't care if our offputting protagonist got his perfect life. I don't feel for two people in their thirties because they don't get to live in a mansion. You had to drive a low price car? Other people jumped off buildings.
... View MoreNot sure what this film is. The premise is that a hard-driving ethically challenged financial manager working for an ethically challenged firm is used as a scapegoat when things go wrong. With his career in ruins he begins to look for another job and winds up as an overdressed, under-prepared waiter in a chicken and waffles franchise. Cue all the possible clichés at this point... It is an interesting premise if not for how quickly he moves from the world of high-finance to applying for menial jobs. There were a few laughable moments, but in the end I felt robbed of any believable elements in the main characters transformation from scoundrel to an honest, hard-working Joe. From beginning to end this felt like community theater writing and acting with a strong undertone of false modesty. Even Danny Glover doesn't pull this up from the bottom - though his performance was clearly the best of what the movie has to offer - which was very little in terms of message, comedy or drama. Blech!
