n 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 MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreI am personally very surprised by the movies low rating. It is true that the movie has a specific type of humor you have to be into. But when you are into this kind of humor, you will very much enjoy this movie. I was pretty much laughing continuously for the whole movie. I guess comedies always get a relatively low rating because there are a lot of people out there without any humor. However of all comedies, this is definitely one of the better ones. My advice: watch the movie, if you are not rolling on the floor laughing after the first 10 minutes, don't watch the movie. If you are rolling on the floor laughing, well I don't have to tell you what to do. Anyhow, there is also another point which is the music, I can imagine that some people are annoyed by Quentin Dupieux electronic music, yes, in that case this movie is not your movie.
... View MoreI don't understand how anyone can enjoy this.I like some weird stuff and will laugh at things in films when no-one else is, but it doesn't matter how abstract your sense of humour is I would advise you not to bother with this film as it just isn't funny.There is a very basic storyline and some central characters but NOTHING TO LAUGH AT; the script isn't witty or funny, the characters are mainly sleazy cops but the stuff they do is just boring or weird and there is no physical/slapstick type stuff either.In the first 10-15 minutes as the cop characters are being introduced I thought maybe there was some potential as they all seem like scumbags but then it just goes nowhere so after about 45 minutes I gave up. I admit I didn't watch it all but in my book if you have watched over half a 'comedy' without laughing once then it is not worth persevering with the rest.Just don't bother.
... View MoreInitially, I was blown away by the stellar performances from supporting actors Eric Judor, Eric Wareheim and Marilyn Manson. Synth was an amazing choice for the soundtrack however that doesn't carry the movie out of the enormous hole it's dug itself into. The content could have easily fit into a 25 minute slot. At a gratuitous 83 minutes the humorous moments are very few and far in-between. Taking the liberty to be shot like an art-house film Quentin Dupieux has created a perfect storm of bland comedy. 'Wrong Cops' tries too hard to become a cult classic like 'The Room' yet barely achieves mediocrity. To sum the movie up in one resounding word, "meh".
... View MoreI like to avoid spoilers in my reviews. This movie is very short, but you'll remember every moment of it. The music is extremely obscure, but draws you in and makes the movie by the end.It was great to see that the cast and crew didn't take themselves too seriously when making this film. Its not meant to be completely realistic, nor run for Academy Awards.If you are offended by extreme sexual jokes, and people treating each other horrifically in bizarre social environments, then this movie is not for you.The film starts off awkward, which sets the pace of the entire movie. The acting is not the most amazing, but its hilarious.I've watched this movie at least 10 times since I got a copy of it. I've re-watched it with friends who share the same type of humor.There is a gore scene that's quite disturbing, yet darkly hilarious. I mention that as a warning for people who couldn't stomach it, its quite psychotic. I won't ruin it for people who want to enjoy it.This movie is best watched knowing almost nothing about it before you see it. Its best for when you don't have time for the usual 1hr45-2hr run time movies that are the norm these days. Wrong Cops is a movie you should also be in the mood for the first time you see it.There's a lot of people who will hate this movie. Every joke is pure black humor. It seems to take influence from Reno 911 and Super Troopers. It is, however, much less slapstick.This is the best review I can do without giving away anything, or spoiling anything. I rate it a 9/10 for the category of Black Humor Cult Classics. While its not old yet, people may still enjoy this 20 years from now.The storyline is very unpredictable. A lot of the characters are unlikeable as people, but enjoyable to observe.Although being unrealistic at various points, there are a lot of scenes that hit a little "too close to home" for people who have had a rough past. To enjoy this movie, separate yourself from the situations completely and thank heavens you don't live in the same neighborhood as these people.Please remember that a protagonist doesn't have to be a good person. There are plenty of books and movies where the lead characters are straight up villains. The entire movie is quite amoral, which helps make this a unique little film. Its original, memorable, and not for everyone.I hope this helps you decide if this is the movie for you tonight.
