[Neutrinos]

Bateman comedies are almost always worth a watch and the premise of this one had me laughing out loud

Coming Friday.

I really wanna see this. Weird there's no reviews yet. Maybe all the jokes are in the trailer.

Yup John Francis Daley who played Sam Weir.

I agree on it looking bad. McAdams seems really annoying in it based on the previews I’ve seen. Maybe Bateman can save it from being a complete dud.

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

I will see this movie only if Kyle Chandler's character calls Jesse Plemons "Lance" multiple times.

 

[TP]

I love Bateman and McAdmans. Will catch it when it comes on Blu.

 

[Cor]

Looks good, and has a really solid cast.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Surprised by the early reviews. Figured this would be a critical dud, especially with the February release.

 

[Neutrinos]

I'm not sure why most think this looks awful

It's an original, fun premise with a stellar cast and one of the best leading men in Hollywood for comedies

What more do you want?

Surprised by the early reviews. Figured this would be a critical dud, especially with the February release.

Great comedies are few and far between these days. The cast is only part of it, the script is usually the real starting point. Not to mention February is often the graveyard release month for movies that the producers don't have much faith in.

This looks like "that movie" where it's something no one would expect to be good and it actually ends up being good. Caught a small clip of this and immediately thought it would just be another "Office Christmas Party" or something along those lines.

Saw. Very entertaining. Bateman was his awesome self. Got very excited to see Dexter. Winston was funny as f*** (shout out to my fellow New Girl fans). Best acting? Jesse Lemons. God damned is he underrated. Had no idea who Billy Magnussen is, but he's funny.

 

[Hurricane28]

This was surprisingly good

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I was thinking about seeing Annahilation soon, but this is getting great word of mouth. Also, I'm not a fan of Horror movies and Annahilation is a horror movie, or so I've heard.

 

[Jonesey]

I laughed my ass off. Landry and Coach Taylor crushed it.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!

 

[wedge]

that was an excellent movie. I will rewatch when it's on blu-ray.

 

[kihei]

I really enjoyed it. Laughed a lot.

 

[Fandlauer]

The trailers really don't do this movie justice. I had absolutely no desire to see this. I only saw it because of the reviews. Just a great movie! Hilarious.

 

[Neutrinos]

Jesse Plemons is the highlight of this film, but I found it peaked a bit early

Once they find out it's not a game, the film loses a bit of steam, and unfortunately, that's at around the 45 minute mark

 

[HanSolo]

I thought it was funny but went in kind of expecting a more fleshed out plot. I thought the plot writing was incredibly stupid at times.

 

[Lost Horizons]

FWIW it comes out on blu ray on Tuesday (5/22).

 

[Better Call Sal]

Thought this was f***ing hilarious, and I agree that Jesse Plemons was the highlight of the movie.

I just adore Rachel McAdams.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I agree that Jesse Plemons was the highlight of the movie.

He's one of the most underrated actors IMO. He steals the show in a lot of things that he's in, regardless of the genre.

 

[Lost Horizons]

There was a scene after the credits fwiw
