Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
onewayforanother I went to see this movie being a bit skeptical, since most projects the people from the TV series "friends" are involved in always seems to be quite a failure. But anyway I was looking quite forward to it since David Schwimmer is my favorite actor out of "friends". I was very happy when I saw that Schwimmer's role in this movie is not far from the character he plays in "Friends". Not that he is Ross in this movie, but he's so believable. And he pulls this one of so perfect!The movie is well produced, has intelligent black humor, and the storyline will keep you interested all the way through. It must be one of my top 5 surprisingly good movies watched this year. I just love when you don't have any expectation to a movie, and it then blows you away. This movie can do that.I gave it an 8 since there is a certain point in the movie that feels a bit long, but when I think about it now it's probably just because the rest of the movie is so entertaining and fun.
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU And it really is nothing. They all lie to one another. They all are mentally deficient in a way or another. They all want to make an easy dollar, or rather an easy $100,000 that turns a just as easy $2,000,000. And they don't know what to do with it and the complications.It's a generic remake of a Coen Brothers' film. You might find it funny, but it is a gross comedy with a touch of romantic attachment and a stroke of vain and painless silliness. The film has no meaning whatsoever. It is just a farce.But if your stomach is slightly delicate, better abstain. A septic tank stinks. Vomiting in the bouquet in the living room stinks. Killing someone with an axe in the middle of the skull stinks. Killing a diabetic person with an overdose of sugar stinks? Killing some one or oneself with an overdose of concentrated valium stinks. ETC.But, like all farces, it is funny ah-ah and nothing else.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
merklekranz David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg hit a new low in this supposed black comedy. Alice Eve not only gets to act in this unbelievably contrived film, but confirms that she cannot act. There is so much wrong here, but it starts with a simpleminded script about an extortion scheme gone wrong. Everything about "Big Nothing" is annoying. The script is so bad that what has already been seen is constantly being explained. Along with the horrendous acting, the unnecessary camera effects and headache inducing split screens, characters appear out of nowhere with zero development. You will be living with the fast forward button, if you insist on getting to the end of this abomination. - MERK
ashwin-avasarala I saw this movie yesterday, and I must say I was impressed. Where do i start? The music, the cinematography, the plot or the acting? Well the music was delightful. A little different from what you usually hear running in the background. The cinematography is simply superb, whether it is the choice of colors or background or the usage of split screens or just the swift movement of camera. The actors did a good job. All actors played their characters convincingly, especially Simon Pegg. The plot. Oh My GOD!. After a long time have I come across a plot like this, with so many twists and turns that it just keeps getting wackier every minute. You get so involved in the plot, that you feel sad when.....I'll leave the rest for you to watch :)
