Nonureva Really Surprised!
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
lokosolvo jerrod wit, timing and humanity are absent from this performance and his pretentious and relentless charade of worldly defeatism doesn't work. Being gross can be funny but there has to be some context, some originality and some relative experience for the viewer to engage with.I'd have to seriously question the professional judgment of the hbo team that saw this past the ideas stage! I'm assuming that they are all her friends or they divvied up her paycheck!
defrjfrujrty I truly held hope that this would be at the least, entertaining, yet it came up short from beginning to end. Some of his comedy shows have some funny lines at least. he's not even a decent actress. his humor is funny to grade-school boys perhaps, but you can't fill a movie script with one-liners and expect a box office smash. I would recommend spending your time elsewhere.
dentrolice I have never seen the ' stand-up before but decided to see it because I really have enjoyed their cartoon on Animation Domination/FXX. However, after seeing it I must say that their act is DEFINITELY not for everyone. First, you have to be able to laugh at pot-head humor. After all, they are both self-avowed pot users and much of their humor centers around this. I am not offended by the notion of legalization of drugs but laughing at drugs isn't my thing. Second, you have to have a high tolerance for their slow, slow style...the style of two pot-heads! A few of the jokes worked well, many fell flat and the whole Richard Nixon angle just was unfunny, made no sense and went no where-- particularly with the cartoon at the end. Overall, I neither hated nor particularly loved it. There are definitely better comedians out there...but sadly there are many much worse!
Lance I enjoyed a few bits with this show, but I think the show could be a lot smoother if Jerrod didn't stop and pause, and then restart with a different sentence, in the middle of his dialogue. For example, he would say "I just think that (pause for three seconds)... I just feel that.. it's hard... it's hard to think that.. you know.. I feel.. like I want to try." IMO - this is either a lack of material memorization or a lack of material that is prepared for an hour long segment. I think and hope that his stand-up will improve by eliminating these half sentence stutters. Other than a few issues with his public speaking, I enjoyed his stand-up.
