Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I really cannot express how disappointing it is to have a film with such talented young actors and have it squandered on this piece of film-garbage. There is a whole slew of supporting cast that deserve so much better than to appear in such an uninspired sequence of events. Every character is a stereotypical punch-line waiting to happen. Even an appearance from the legendary John C. Mcginley's Dr. Cox Whistle is not enough to save this plodding, depressing mess.Seeing Walter White out of work is about as thrilling as remembering that he used to be Malcolm in the Middle's dad.I do, however, want to commend the filmmakers for attempting (admittedly with poor results) to address the frustration and actual difficulties faced by today's generation, and realise that it isn't all about being spoiled... Until that Hollywood ending shows us it is just that.

Get a Job stars, Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick. The story follows predominately Tellers character Will Davis as he and his flatmates and dad try and get into the world employment. Kendrick plays the Will's more successful girlfriend, Jillian Stewart. As the film develops you go through the run of the mill humor, Vomit, toilet and embarrassment which really puts the film down. Additionally you follow Will's father , Bryan Cranston, as he attempts to get the job of his dreams after being let go of his previous employ. Clearly the script writers were showing the older generation were having the same problem as the youth, this made the older storyline seem more of a joke (bad hair dos etc) Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick though playing a couple had no chemistry what so ever, which makes the couple dynamic a little strange to watch. Teller struggles to play anything that doesn't have a comedic undertone, the serious parts therefore are lacking any empathy or oomph! The other characters seemed to fade into the background a fair bit or the issues were resolved and forgotten only to be revisited in the last 30 mins of the film in order to make the morality of the story true. Which would be don't settle and go for what you believe in.

wow. I am a massive Bryan Cranston fan. Breaking Bad is epic in no small part to him and I felt Trumbo was a superb performance in this. So we have him and some terrific actors in this dross. What is going on with American films? In the last 7 weeks I have attempted to watch an American movie once a week and only last 30 minutes in each one. This movie had the premise that guys lounging around in a loft ( a rather expensive one) looking over the city and going to strip clubs after a few bongs was meant to be really funny. I feel like taking this movie to a Real Estate Agent and asking them where is my fancy apartment that I did not earn. Miles Tiller was awesome in Whiplash but I think he may have received Whiplash in that movie because he has been quite lame since then. Oh - back to the other movies. One had a 15 year old having sex with her mum's lover. Another was set in a school where students took over and use some of the foulest language towards the teachers. A Tarantino film that has a black guy forcing some cowboy to go down on him in the snow. Then the N word used to an all-time record. Another movie I watched had a lady becoming a spy. It was funny enough, but when she became a spy in the field, she began using the f word 3 times a sentence. Then I watched the Squid and the Whale. One of the worst movies of all times which somehow rated amazingly well on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. It had the least likable characters I have ever seen in a movie. Just awful. The youngest lad in it is pre-teen yet apparently it is funny to see him drink beer, use the worst corse words at his parents and masturbate in a library. What is wrong with the movies that country is putting out. I don't get it and I don't want to.

I do find Miles Teller funny and entertaining. He's kind of this generation's Vince Vaughn especially describing him in this movie. He plays Will, a 22 year old straight out of College who is the voice of this upcoming generation, but he's not saying much, which is saying a lot about this generation. Teller heads up a weak ensemble cast of characters that poke fun of a generation of American children who were built up with false confidence as children and developed into privilege underachievers due to it. I did enjoy watching these kids get slap in the face for expecting everything just because they put their hand out for it.The movie also attempts to be more diverse with the unemployment situation with supporting actor, Bryan Cranston playing Will's father, a man who got fired after over 20 years on the job and his attempts to find a new job in a world that thinks her too old. This little add in I did enjoy and added some surprising heart to this fickle frat boy comedy.Speaking of fickle frat boy comedy. Anna Kendrick is on the poster of this movie as if her part had any sort of importance. The movie was very focus on young men trying to Get a Job and has Kendrick's character more as a supportive girlfriend, which I did not like, because she's the same age as the boys going through the same stuff and they are not treating her as a equal to the others, as far as the story goes.But the biggest issue Get A Job has is that overall the movie misses the point it's trying to make. I don't know if they were force to go with a Hollywood formula or whatever, but they spend the whole movie telling us what's wrong with this generation and how unperfect they are only for their lives to become perfect. Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and it's actually a very non-Hollywood formula, because a bunch of stuff happen without anyone learning anything in the end. The movie does have a bunch of big laughs in it from some actors I enjoined seeing on the screen, but overall, Get A Job does not say much and leaves me hating that generation even more.
