Mancation

Mancation was great, good fun and enjoyable the whole way through. It was great seeing an independent film take on a bromantic comedy and successfully bring a lot of originality to the table. Although some of the humor tends to be "controversial", it's exactly what makes this film so great and hilarious. This movie not only held my attention throughout the entire duration of the film but had me to laughing out loud many times throughout. Despite previous reviews, I have to disagree and give this movie two thumbs up. Jake Matthews is hilarious, all the characters are enjoyable and everyone gives such a great performance. If your plans are to sit back, watch a fun and enjoyable film and laugh the 98 minutes of your time away then this is the movie for you! This flick takes an interesting approach to a well known genre and nails it! Mancation does South Jersey, Philadelphia and independent filmmaking proud!

This guy ruins his entire life to chase some hot hot "Danica McKellar" ass (If you know Family Guy you'll get the reference). Surely he should have known more about his wife before he married her. He said himself he was marrying into the business. So stick with that plan. I had half expected him to tell the Japanese the plan, which he did, but to then go and turn the company around for them and live happily ever after with his chosen chick. It's not well written to miss that obvious and rewarding feel good plot direction. It needed that sort of ending to boost the overall film. There's a featured review which is all lies that convinced me to give this movie a go. I can't believe how much worse it is than that review. The problem is that the "jokes" if you could call them that, are few and far between. It messes itself up with trying to have deep and meaningful romantic comedy undertones. It should be a completely debauched frat house style romp through depravity and degradation, in the wake of him finding out about his wife. It just doesn't play out very convincingly on any front.

What a load of crap ... Whoever Mr Vain is that wrote and directed this feeble excuse for a comedy, he needs to go and get a job in Wal-Mart or something, cos that might be more within his capabilities Trying to remake The Hangover was pointless in the first place as several others have done it since, and lets be honest, the original was no classic itself Here we have inept acting ... A feeble script ... Attempts at gross out humour ... And all of it failing hopelessly due to no idea from the director, I was going to say regarding timing, but I've decided it is more a case of regarding anything But with a script this pathetically bad ( yes, it was also written by Mr Vain ) there would really be no hope for anyone And no its not so bad its good ... Just a complete waste of everybodys time

I will not go into any specifics like a few reviewers. But this movie is NOT funny. And the controversial-off is ridiculous and bizarre. It totally killed a potentially decent movie. The obnoxious friend had potential to set up and do some great story telling, but went off into the wild west and went insane and lost it.

I did not see any "Comedy" in this film. A Romantic story gets beat up and trashed by idiotic story telling that makes no sense at all. I felt like I was watching a train wreck, I just couldn't stop, and was wondering would happen next in this masterful piece of s**t. I would not recommend this movie to a friend or anyone else.

"Mancation" was actually anything but funny, and I can say that I honestly didn't laugh a single time throughout the entire movie.

I should be said that director Frank Vain is trying to put together a comedy here, but it just failed miserably. The jokes were far between and when they were there, the punchlines were off and the comedy just wasn't there.

The story in "Mancation" is about Vince (played by Matt Kawczynski) who just have gotten married to the boss's daughter. Upon their wedding day he comes home and finds her in bed with the bridesmaid; it turns out that she is a lesbian, and has been so all throughout their relationship. Together with his brother Leo (played by Stephen Medvidick) and his two friends Brady (played by Joey Fatone) and Adam (played by Jake Matthews), Vince travels to Atlantic City to meet up with his high school sweetheart.

Right, storywise, then "Mancation" did have potential, just a shame that the storyline wasn't fully brought to justice given the bad jokes and lack of comedy throughout the entire movie. It should be said that the people cast for the various roles were actually doing good enough jobs, it was just the script that was working against them.

The only memorable scene in the entire movie is the controversy stand-off between Adam and Igor (played by Derek Lindeman). It wasn't actually funny, but it was so bizarre and disturbing that it stood out in an otherwise stale and irrelevant movie.

If you are looking for comedy, then your money would be better spent on something else. There really isn't much to come here for, truth be told.
