Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
steveflatbush Just another silly teenage sex and drug movie. Enough SNL stars to bring some humor to it. And thank god for leaving Seth Rogan out of it. It was worth a few laughs.
kr98664 To paraphrase another reviewer and a line from the movie's opening narration, it's as if Caddyshack and Superbad had a love child. A very funny love child...As you watch this movie, it's easy to pick out influences from other flicks. Jonah Hill type? Check. Michael Cera type? Check, but let's go with black hair so it's not obvious. And so it goes, even including a mumbling grounds-keeper a la Caddyshack. Mind you, these are not necessarily bad things. Considering I laughed myself silly quite a few times, I won't complain. This movie was a refreshing change from the standard fare of late. It's just a silly comedy with barely enough plot to move from scene to scene. It's not a dreary underdog saga set in a dystopian future. It's not another overwrought superhero movie with a 45 minute CGI battle scene to fill up the running time once the creators ran out of ideas. And most thankfully, it's not an angst-filled critique of relationships. It's just a funny story. I wish there were more movies like this one. The many supporting characters were great fun. Kate Walsh and Jim Gaffigan played their parent roles to deadpan perfection. The kid from Bad Grandpa played a great straight man (straight kid?) to the totally inappropriate influences of Fred Armisen. Don't expect too much, but do sit back and enjoy a few belly laughs. And be thankful not everybody in Hollywood has given up on making light-hearted comedies.
subxerogravity What I loved most about this movie is the fact that it has the feel of a teen comedy about the beach, but despite the fact that the Island has a beach, they used a pool. It has a feel of a teen comedy, despite the fact that most of the supporting cast were around when the 80s films this movie pays homage to came out. But the whole supporting cast was funny, being some of Saturday Night live's best new talent(Cecily Strong and Bobby Moynihan) and a few alums(Fred Armisen and Will Forte). Also being produced by the guy who created SNL, Staten Island Summer is like the big sketch they could not pull off on a sound stage.It's the age old tale of two boys trying to spend their last summer together before college trying to get laid, but set in a place nobody would have thought to set any movie, and pulls nothing back on what the Island is all about (Even including a role for Wu Tang's Method Man, a native of Shaolin)Absolutely funny.
Aktham Tashtush So maybe there is a little bit of the "Project X" idea in this movie and to be precise it's no where as strong as project x but it was kind enjoyable with a handful of funny jokes despite the predictability on the story itself. Even though the idea is not that genuine but The plot is fresh the events roll in a good scale and the writing looked good, i had a couple laughs, some giggles .. i mean you gotta give it all to Colin Jost , man !! such a young talent with so much experience with "Saturday Night Live" , he surely stepped it up a lot.As for the cast ,, mostly SNL cast plus the really funny dude Zack Pearlman , Graham Phillips form "The Good Wife" and Jackson Nicoll the kid from Jackass .. LOOOL i love his face :D so the cast are really good ,, and i think they are the ones who made the movie a bit more enjoyable... and i have to mention that their performance here is in so many levels much better than their "Balls Out(Intramural )" movie which been released last month.Overall, the movie does not have a new surprisingly unexpected idea but the cast did one hell of a great job with somehow good written script to make it look like this.
