Mark Palermo The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Anyone repelled by the dating quota enforcement of movies like Failure to Launch should at least recognize virtue in Employee of the Month's dismissal of ranked social leagues. Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3/5 Feb 8, 2007 Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses full review in Greek Rated: 1/5 Jan 14, 2007 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review ...we already have a Johnny Knoxville, thank you very much.

Pena que a trama no se sustente e o diretor exagere no desespero para provar que tem algum talento. Rated: 2/5 Jan 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Cr3ms0n N I was going to watch the movie but kept postponing and by the time I watched it, I forgot about the trailer, poster, everything basically. That was the correct way I guess for future viewers. I got completely believing the story until the huge plot twist. From that point on it was surprise after surprise but I guess that was the goal of the director. For me it was a bit much but that started this row of events and they had to finish it. The character of Jack was a bit too much for me at times and overall too loud and I wanted to fast forward when he start talking too much. The tempo was good but slow at some points. The plot was delivered well because I was really believing until they turned it upside down showing me the actual world we live in and what an emotional roller coaster mean. Like I said, it was too much in the end to cramp it all in 5 minutes of events and I am a bit confusing, was this a happy ending, bad ending, or how should I feel. I recommend this movie only if you don't have any other movie which you know what to expect from, because this might leave you confused. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review mark g Dark as hell, but good performances and solid cast. I get why some people might be turned off, but it was actually decent little film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Audience Member An alt. psychic (one that sees into the past) told me that this movie was preposterously pitched to some level of management as a "Tarantino-esque philosophical action thriller", and also that Jenna Fischer described once how taking a bit part as a hooker in this film was "showing off her range" as an actress. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Had some funny moments and a twist I didn't see coming. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Zahn is fired from his job, his girlfriend dumps him and he decides to rob a bank. A decent premise, but this was just boring. It took forever to get there, and once it did, there were a bunch of twists which at least made it interesting, but they had to go and basically over explain it to everyone to make sure you understood what happened. I was half-watching this and still picked up on everything before it had to explain it to me. Not worth the talent invovled. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Much better than you think it will be Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
