Finally @trumpman was right, and as he can say in his lovely review, this movie is garbage.

When the movie started, I felt like it was not that bad. And then the Ryan Reynolds's character opened his mouth for the first time and everything went terrible.

Mitch, (Ryan Reynolds) is like the adult version of Van Wilder if he didn't realize he was making shit with his life at the end of the movie. They're often describing him as "eating humus and masturbating" and even if that's funny, that's basically everything he is. Adding to that "being a jerk". He's always insulting everyone.
When the real story starts, (they swap their bodies), it's even worst because Jason Bateman looks meaner so now it just like Mitch is mean to everyone.

I think the movie could have been good if Mitch was just borderline but here he's crossing that ethic border say too often. Doing actual sexual harassment, phonically threatening people as soon as he's not happy of something. Plus Jason Bateman is not doing everything the good way neither, he's married but because he doesn't have his own body he's trying his best to date other women and he always stops but after all the steps before "having sex". Like, dating, inviter her to his house, kissing, getting almost nude, starting to touch themselves and THEN "I can't I have a wife" but he never talks about this to her.

There are 2 goods scenes in that movie. The moment each one of the guys realize they did something bad. When Jason Bateman is in Ryan Reynolds body, he talks to his wife and learn that he is a workaholics and isn't spending enough time with his family. And Mitch in Bateman's body realized when talking to Bateman's wife (Leslie Mann) he hasn't been invited to their wedding birthday because he's always destroying parties when flirting with everyone and forcing the guests to drink and smoke because that's ALL he does.

I can't really explain what but I wasn't totally bored or cringed by the movie. Some little things sometimes were working but I can't tell what.

I think there are few things that makes some great moments, but the more I think about it the more I realize that moments made me feel like the wasn't the same movie at all. When we are mostly seeing two characters who just want to destroy their lives, at some points they are doing something great and almost in the good way and there are tiny music trying to make it cute. But I don't really feel sad for Mitch when he says he doesn't deserve the goods things happening to him while during the movie he broke all the rules, drove too fast while smoking weed, have been talking with an Asian accent to a man because he's Chinese but can totally talk in English, have been taking lessons for future mothers just to have sex with them, makes everything he can to have sex with his friend's wife until he realizes she, like every other human, is used to make a number 2 in the toilet and is now disgusted. Yes, No, you don't deserve it, and I don't care you realize it .

The movie is pretty nice though, they put some colored K-way to Ryan Reynolds and I don't really know why but even with this haircut, that totally works !

I really think Olivia Wilde saves the movie. Each time she talks this is a good scene. Probable the best character of the movie but unfortunately she lives really strange moments and fortunately, at the end of the movie we see her having a better time.
But I don't really know what to thing about the end of the movie. I hesitate between saying the end is worth the rest of the movie or if it's worse than the end of the movie. Having this happy ending make me wonder what the fuck don't they understand about "consequences" ?

Thank you for your delightful review. I haven't watched it yet, but I am not sure if I ever watch it. Your post and trumpman's might persuaded me to avoid it, lololol.
But I am expecting your next post with Ryan Reynolds' film.
Cheers!

Aha yes I don't think this is a good idea unless you have time to spend being disappointed :') I appreciate you liked it ;) !PIZZA

Which Ryan Reynold's movie is your favorite? Being a fan of him, you can even name more than one movie.

avatar

It depends the day, but I think National Lampoon's Van Wilder is my all time favorite because that's where I discovered it !
I also really like Self/less but most people I know who watch it don't like it so I'm apprehending to see it again, maybe I'll be disappointed :') I also like Deadpool even if I don't like everything in it, I would like it to be darker without removing the jokes.

I still did not watch "The Adam Project" and it looks pretty good, I tried not to watch reviews but as I understood it's not really great neither :/ !PIZZA

avatar

So there is a number of movies that you would love to watch even multiple times.

avatar

Yes indeed ! But also some others I'm not sure I want to watch them again :')

avatar

if trumpman says it's garbage then it's usually stinkier than dog poo :)) not sure how you have the will power to go through that

avatar

That's called "having no job" and a lot of time to spend. The worst thing about that is that I still have few movies in the list which are absolutely bad. Way worse than this one. It's actually good compared to "Life". And with Hitman and bodyguard or 6 underground, there are some challenges to know which one it the best :') !PIZZA

avatar

well sorry about your predicament :)))
