Hors contrôle

When there is a duo in a film, I usually have no problem accepting the fact that both of them share the screen time somehow evenly. But this is perhaps the first film where I have encountered that where one character brutally overshadows the other. I had a feeling that Adam DeVine was there all the time and Zac Efron almost never. Not that it matters to the overall story, but it seemed rather strange. Especially when the story doesn’t revolve around just one character, but intentionally around brothers. As for the comedy, I was completely satisfied. A proper American comedy movie worth three stars, where I was most pleased with Anna Kendrick, who plays her own thing and again does it so divinely that you just can’t dislike her. (12/10/2017)

I didn't laugh as much as I thought I would at this movie. Kendrick and Plaza are fine, but I still can't help but think of their characters as total bitches most of the time. Just like those two were total assholes. At least the environment was occasionally utilized to the advantage of the matter. (10/10/2016)

A standard raunchy and crude American comedy whose plot is completely pointless and the acting performances border on the pathetic. Although it was constantly making me cringe, I also kind of enjoyed it. But unless you are into unoriginal and bizarre comedies, just steer clear of this. A movie that is so awkward and unfunny that you can’t help but enjoy it, even though most people will probably be too embarrassed to admit it. Honestly, there's no such thing as too many R-rated comedies. (29/03/2017)

One of the many American relationship romantic comedies, in which more than one character goes through an internal upheaval because they simply decide that they can't go on like this and have to change, I was surprisingly quite amused by the result. If you overlook the clichés in the script and the actors' actions, push your brain cells slightly aside and ignore the annoying Adam DeVine, it is a decent entertainment, which is clearly dominated by the massage scene. In short, it's an unpretentious hour and a half that, while it evaporates immediately after watching, still entertains. (21/12/2016)
