Here's another movie that's not going to
please everyone.
It;s going to depend on your tolerance
of humor that's rude, crude, and in your face.
I found the film well-made from a technical
perspective.
Most of the belly-laughs come from material
ranging from mildly naughty to fairly gross.
What made the movie work for myself was
the good writing and the whole cast of spiffy actors. |
As low-brow sex comedies go, this one manages
to be both funny & charming at the same time.
Steve Carell, who wrote & stars in
this seemingly one-note laughfest, shows a surprising talent
for both acting and great comic timing.
Andy's not just a geek, he's a genuinely
nice person--a crass, vulgar, good-natured burlesque. |
The movie is about a man avoiding sex &
putting on a false appearance tin order to hide what is real
from his fellow workmen.
This performance anxiety comedy is full
of exaggerated situations that explore virgin territory.
Before you see this flick, you have to
like this kind of humor. It is big R, with profanity, graphic
sexual situations, nudity, drug use, & stuff like vomit,
urine, & other bodily fluids.
The film pushes the envelope a little too
much for me. I think it should be rated X. |
