Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

srdjan_veljkovic Except that it takes a little too long and is slow to start, the only significant problem with this movie is that it is very confined to the personal trainer world. If you don't know any of these people, you won't get the movie, it will seem boring and pointless.But, if you know at least one personal trainer, this movie gives an interesting and decently executed look into their world. You'll recognize a lot of behavior of personal trainers in the actions of Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders. Yes, it's not very funny, but that is also the point. But, it has funny moments, again, this being the point.Other than that, you can see an interesting story about how different people influence each other's lives in surprising ways and also how people can act very wrong towards one another for prejudices, wrong assumptions and similar silly, internal, things.

leonblackwood Review: I thought that I would give this movie a chance because I like Guy Pearce's movie and now that I've watched it, I'm in two minds with the end result. Its about a man called Danny (Kevin Corrigan) who becomes rich after inheriting money from his mother and he goes to his local gym to become fit and be able to take a punch. After talking to the gym owner Trevor (Guy Pearce) he is given a personal gymnast, Kat (Cobie Smulders) who goes to his house to put him through some intense training. After a while, the somewhat lonely and depressed Danny, falls for Kat but her professionalism and gruesome attitude, false her to cancel the sessions. While all this is going on, Trevor is planning to expand his gym business by opening another branch but Danny threatens to sue, because of Kats behaviour. After an intense confrontation between Danny and Trevor, they soon become close friends but once Danny finds out that Trevor is in love with Kat as well, a love triangle emerges and there relationships between each other become questionable. Personally I thought that it was a pointless movie but it's light hearted fun without much depth. Everyone put in a good performance and it was good to see a comedic side to Guy Pearce but Kevin Corrigan's acting was a bit weird. I didn't really see the point of Giovanni Ribisi's character, who played the lawyer with not that many lines and the movie seemed to drift into a love story which was a bit of a let down. Anyway, it's a watchable movie with a few enjoyable moments but I won't be watching it again anytime soon. Average!Round-Up: Guy Pearce, 47, starred in over 400 episodes of Neighbours and 18 episodes of Home & Away before taking the lead in the movie Flynn in 1993. He then starred as Felicia in the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which was an outstanding performance and through 1993 - 1996 he starred in the TV series Snowy River. In 1997 he came back to the big screen with another brilliant performance in L.A. Confidential and after a few small movies, he took the lead in Memento in 2000. After a couple of years break he took the lead in the Count of Monte Carlo alongside Jim Caviesel and the disappointing Time Machine and I was impressed with his role in the Proposition in 2005. He then seemed to have gone under the radar with some low budget movies, until 2008 when he hit the big time with movies like Fragments, Traitor, Bedtime Stories and the award winning Hurt Locker. Since then he has become a bankable star with his roles in The King's Speech, Lockout, Lawless, Prometheus, and Ironman 3 and he has put in great performances in small budget movies like the great Animal Kingdom, the Rover, the Road, Justice and 33 Postcards. I personally rate him as an actor because he has proved that he can cover any genre. He does seem a bit distance and moody in a lot of his movies but his performances are always top form. Although he has starred in big movies through his career, he is one of the lucky actors that have managed to stay out of the tabloids so he can concentrate on giving a top performance in all of his movies. Anyway, this movie was directed by Andrew Bujalski whose only made 7 low budget movies in his career. You can tell that he had a small budget to make this movie but he did have some too class actors to work with, so he could have spent some more time on making the script a bit more meaningful. I recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/drama movies about a rich man who goes to the gym to get fit and ends up falling in love with his trainer. 3/10

Melissa_Antoinette_Garza By Melissa Antoinette Garza I only recently heard of this film, but the reviews have been extremely positive. Though still in cinemas, it is currently available for rent off Amazon streaming. Results follows gym owner Trevor (Guy Pearce) and the complicated relationship he has with employee Kat (Cobie Smulders). When Danny (Kevin Corrigan) recently acquires a hefty inheritance from his estranged mother shortly after a divorce, he decides to use a portion of it to get personal lessons from Trevor's gym with the hopes of successfully being able to withstand a punch. Despite Trevor being wary, Kat insists she takes the job as she wants more clients. Danny has an instant attraction to her and she's not completely uncharmed by him. After stopping by his house to get high, they have a romantic encounter which most certainly means more to Danny than to Kat. When she comes over for her next session, Danny has a jazz band and a romantic dinner waiting. She becomes furious and storms out. She runs to Trevor who is jealous as he and Kat were former lovers. Though it's obvious Kat wanted more, Trevor whose philosophy is based on visualizing goals and attaining them, didn't see her as a long-term part of his life. Despite his own feelings and affection for her, he insists on keeping their relationship professional. Trevor calls Danny to threaten him, and when Danny is unimpressed with the tactic, Trevor shows up at his house. The two end up getting along and Trevor even starts training Danny to become stronger. They become such good friends that Danny purchases 50% of the business to help Trevor's goal of expanding become a reality. A falling out of sorts occurs when Danny discovers Trevor's feelings for Kat. This is done extremely well as it's not for the usual rivalry reasons seen within most films depicting two people who share an affection for the same person. The focus isn't on a love triangle, but instead the existence of three decent yet flawed individuals and the way in which each person impacts the other. The strengths and weaknesses of the trio compliment one another and help each find success in all avenues of their lives. From start to finish I enjoyed this movie immensely. It will certainly be one I purchase once available. The characters are believable in The acting both from the main players and the supporting cast is fantastic. Giovanni Ribisi portrays a corporate lawyer Danny befriends in a bar trying to score weed. I've always loved Ribisi's work and have followed his career for years. Whereas friends of the main characters can sometimes be easily forgotten, Ribisi really brings out the eccentricity in his portrayal to ensure, it won't be soon forgotten. Another side character who brought so much to the table was Danny's ex-wife Christine (Elizabeth Berridge). At one point Danny thinks about going back to his ex, despite objections from Trevor. Rather than making Christine a caricature of the evil ex, Berridge portrayed her as a genuine and sympathetic woman who cares enough to be there for Danny when he's trying to reassess his life. Berridge is Kevin Corrigan's real-life wife. She also played beside him on Grounded for Life as his girlfriend Amy which of all Eddie's girlfriends was my favorite and the one who stands out the most. Amy was a hilariously demented character, and Berridge flawlessly walked the line keeping her sympathetic and crazy without making her a villain. I really hope to see Berridge in some new projects soon as she always adds so much to any production. Both Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders were fantastic in their roles. They shared great chemistry and portrayed each character with a level of realism and intelligence. Smulders was tough as nails as Kat without going overboard into Tomb Raider style badass-ery. She calls out a woman for not paying her bill on time and eating a cupcake with such a nonchalant aura of confidence that was both hilarious and cutthroat. Last but never least, Kevin Corrigan stole every scene he was in. Danny could have been easily portrayed as a joyless person. He's a little insecure, depressed, bored, lost contact with his mother for years before her death, tries too hard and fails with women – the list goes on and on. Corrigan breathes life into Danny with his expressions, mannerisms, and humor which makes for some of the funniest scenes in recent cinematic history. Corrigan is one of those few actors who when walking in a room immediately takes over the scene. In everything he's in, opposite anyone, he just has that capability. The attention is drawn to him like eyes to Fireworks on the 4th of July. It's like Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men (1957) or Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun (1961). Even when on screen with the best in the business, everyone is watching them because they have a level of talent which is unsurpassed. I really can't recommend Results enough. It was unique, hilarious and surprisingly very original in the portrayal of each character. Seek out a local theater showing the film or order it from your home on Amazon

Cineman17 Premiering in this year's Sundance Film Festival's US Dramatic Competition, Andrew Bujalski's new dramedy Results is equal parts heartfelt, witty, and genuinely hilarious. Featuring standout performances from Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders and Kevin Corrigan, the film tells the story of the Power 4 Life gym, owned and managed by Trevor (Guy Pearce). He dreams of opening up a new location and branching out his business a bit to rival his competitors. Who knows, maybe a future location downtown might even have an on-site juice bar or a new yoga room? Trevor's business plans get mixed up with that of Kat (Cobie Smulders) his coworker who has taken on a new ultra-wealthy client Danny (Kevin Corrigan) who is set on getting back in shape at any cost. The results (no pun intended) of these eccentric characters' lives being mixed together creates some highly entertaining scenarios, like when Danny develops a crush on Kat and tries to bribe her with marijuana, or when Kat and Trevor have spontaneous late night drinks with rival gym owner Gregory (Anthony Michael Hall).Bujalski's work is infamous for being a mash up of vinaigrettes that encompass an overall story, and Results has received its fair share of criticism for not having an even tone. I panned Bujalski's previous film, Computer Chess for that every reason upon my first viewing. After some thought however, and a much-needed second viewing, I realized Bujalski's dedication to small details and his ability to avoid clichés and tropes makes him one of the most exciting indie directors out there. The writing in Results is near-perfect; you get a sense that these aren't just movie characters, but living and breathing people with their own set of complicated romantic desires and needs, and Bujalski captures them like a fly on the wall at their very best (and worst) moments.Besides being Bujalski's most commercial and most accessible film, Results might also be his funniest. It's a fantastic and witty film - the kind of thing you would expect Wes Anderson or Woody Allen to come up with - one with such fresh energy and endearing characters hard not to like. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those looking for some lighthearted-but- complex storytelling should look no further.
