Woodruff F. @Woodrufffoley Oct 13 Very fun movie!! The Dean Z!! See more Samuel D @sammyvegas Aug 8 Fantastic movie. Easily kills an hour and a half off my day. Great cast and great script. See more Ian F. @thismeansguerra Aug 5 Funny and fun 🤩 this a weird movie but worth a watch See more Larry T @Kowalski1975 04/02/2025 The arrogance of this movie just kept slapping me in the face as I watched it. Although people call it a gentle comedy, it’s actually quite mean spirited in its mocking of people from the “flyover states” as well as in the insurance trade. The big national insurance convention is in San Diego every year, by the way, not some dump hotel in Cedar Rapids. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 01/27/2025 This is a hidden gem! I discovered it from a Wikipedia article on “Break My Stride” of all things during the 2020 pandemic lockdown while I was coming up with my movie bucket list. Admittedly, it took 4 years to finally watch it, mostly due to that intensely awkward first sex scene (if you know, you know). But God damn, this impressed me. This is a real underrated hidden gem. A really charming and relatable coming-of-age comedy about late bloomers. There’s so many subtle in-jokes, idioms, vernacular, and references to Wisconsin and the rest of the Midwest (shoutout to my college town, Stevens Point!). The movie takes stride in making exciting adventures out of the mundane ordinary. It’s like someone made a movie of that one fun family reunion weekend we had with our friends or family and it gets to shine in all of its friendly awkward glory. It feels very real and sincere with its characters and banter. The cast has so many great comedians, and John C Reiley easily steals the show. Every line of his is pure gold and you really buy his friendship with the rest of the cast. It’s not exactly an ambitious movie, but it’s not trying to be and it’s perfectly happy with its small slice of Midwestern life. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/19/2023 A movie that plays with placing an innocent and naive man out of his comfort zone, and does so reasonably well in this tightly scripted comedy.
