Movie 43

I've been curious about this movie for a long time. I finally watched it today after finding it at the Dollar tree maybe a week or so ago. Some of the shorts were quite entertaining like the Emma Stone and Liev Schreiber shorts. But there are some that were just uninteresting to me the Hugh Jackman and Chris Pratt Shorts. Not the worst movie watching experience I've had but not the best.

Personally find it entertaining. Easy to watch. If you take out the crappy base storyline with the 3 twits it's OK. I don't think people realise the point of this film. It's just a sketch movie. It's not meant to be a masterpiece. Millions of people watch sketches like this on YouTube everyday but may a movie well that's just ridiculous, calm down. It's way better than south park which is just swearing angry kids and sex.

Ok I've never written a review on here before and it's painfully obvious as to how late I am. However, what did you people expect from this movie? The entire point of it is that it was different segments with not much of a plot just trying to get some laughs out of people and it was hilarious. What did you people want an Oscar worthy comedy? No it was never meant to be that. Just to make you laugh and it was funny. If you did not find it funny then I'm guessing you are somebody who still thinks SNL is funny. It's gross out humor. Cmon people the home schooled segment was great. My god relax and take this movie for what it is. Again just different segments that really don't have a point beyond creating humor. That's exactly what it did.

I can't understand why this movie has such a low rating. It was so funny from start to finish and maybe even a little cringe. I stumbled across this on Netflix and glad I did. Even the girlfriend enjoyed the humor.

Movie 43 (2013)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

The trailer to this thing promises that once you've seen it you'll never forget it and that's certainly true. In case you haven't heard, MOVIE 43 is a bunch of small skits with A-list talent that tries to shock and gross you out. This includes a story about a man with testicles on his neck, a mom and dad who make out with their son, a dirty game of truth or dare and countless more idiotic ones. There's no doubt that this film is in very bad taste but it tells you that before you buy your ticket. I know many absolutely hate this movie but I must admit that it made me laugh quite a bit. As with most movies that tell separate stories, this here is incredibly uneven and a lot of this is due to different directors doing stories but it also happens because the stories themselves are quite different in terms of how good they actually are. There are some (the girl's period) that just flame out before they get started but there are others that are just simply funny because you can't believe they went there. Plus, you get Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet kicking things off in a story you just wouldn't expect to see them doing. That there is rather funny. You can check out the cast listing to see how many big names they were able to get for this thing and it's rather incredible considering what the film is. Still, there's no way around the fact that only about 50% of the jokes actually work, which is why I can't give the film a higher rating. With that said, I think if you like really dark comedy that crosses the lines of taste then you're at least going to laugh some here. The film certainly isn't perfect but I think it offers enough to make it worth viewing.
