this was great. a few too many musical montages but otherwise, wow what a weird movie, great that Rogen put his fleeting fame behind getting something this odd made.

This movie was like Taxi Driver written and directed by a semi-literate Everybody Loves Raymond fan or something. Honestly I have no idea what to make of it. Just a weird and fairly pointless film.

I just saw this and didn't care for it at all. I wanted to laugh harder at the parts that actually were funny, but even the best scenes had annoying elements (usually music-related... god damn was it overbearing) that kind of made my laughter stick in my throat.
It felt to me like Hill couldn't decide if he wanted to make a comedy or a pointless Taxi Driver knock-off. It came out like Punch Drunk Love 2. After this movie, I think I have decided that Hill is a juvenile hack who is really lucky to be surrounded by talented people.

the word "juvenile" came to mind strictly because of how he writes female characters. they are either helpless and innocent with hearts of gold, shallow sluts, or shrews. none of them ever have big parts - they are just there as an end-zone mechanism for the fat anti-hero.

Shakey, how could you? That poor woman, you should have protected her.

i wouldn't let my girl watch pretty woman because everyone in that movie was either helpless and innocent with hearts of gold, shallow sluts, or shrews

I wouldn't let me girl watch pretty woman because I wouldn't want her to get the impression that horse-faced whores make lots of money

I wouldn't subject my wife to "Pretty Woman" because she'd make me watch it with her and srsly fuck that.

ok you do realize it sounds like you're saying you're worried pretty woman would give your horse-faced wife ideas or something

actual lol
guys, i wasn't saying i kept her from Hill's stuff - just didn't recommend it.
― Buck Utah (rockapads), Thursday, 19 November 2009 21:46 (fourteen years ago) link
do you judge all movies you subject her to on the strength of the female roles?
― da croupier, Thursday, 19 November 2009 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link
cuz you never know, she might think anna faris plays a pretty funny shallow slut in this
― da croupier, Thursday, 19 November 2009 22:15 (fourteen years ago) link
That's doubtful.

well, i wouldn't recommend this particular movie to anyone... but in general i doubt there would be much for her to enjoy in any of Hill's stuff. possibly Eastbound & Down if she could stick it through to the last few episodes. we have watched and enjoyed some manchild-with-crush-on-one-dimensional-female comedies together in the past, but Hill's stuff is mean enough in other aspects that i doubt she would enjoy.
i chose the word "subject", because she wasn't interested in the first place, so i would have had to talk her into it.

Watching this right now. I don't think I like it very much. This is bumming me out. :(

this movie was pretty mediocre to bad. had no consistent tone and didn't know what it wanted to be, was like a three-headed Cerberos film that didn't stick to anything long enough.

after seeing all of Eastbound and Down, it feels like this part must have been written for Danny McBride, right...? Feel like it would have been an immensely better film with him in the lead.

I think about this movie at least a couple times a year, it's due a proper re-evaluation (even if the infamous sex scene is awful + not funny and it would have been better with McBride in the lead)
