The film never feels honestly menacing, or gritty enough to have actual tension.

Rated: 2/4

A staged kidnapping isn't the only thing that goes from botched to worse where the tone-deaf black comedy-thriller "Get the Girl" is concerned.

Glossy, noisy and a little bit dull, Get the Girl is the kind of the film you'd thought they'd stopped making

Get the Girl unfortunately gets crushed by its own, voluminous preposterousness.

Get the Girl never moves far beyond the shallow waters of post-modern deconstruction.

Definitely not a mainstream movie, that being said Get The Girl is a fun ride, with a dark humor it made me laugh hard. Don't expect nothing serious from it.

During my 44 years on this earth, I've never watched a movie as bad as this. This is easily, not even arguably, the worst movie ever made in the history of cinema.

Dark comedy filled with odd (& stupid) characters involved in a fake hero setup that goes awry. If you only like mainstream movies; you should stay away from this. BUT, if you like odd flicks - check it out!

I rarely concern myself with the sexuality of characters in film, I think nine times out of ten a romance hinders more than it helps, but with Get the Girl I'd like to float you the idea of how drastically the script would be changed if the lead was gay. Keep everything else the same, but change is sexuality and you have (in my opinion) a much more enjoyable film. Obviously, that is not the case, so instead my takeaway from Get the Girl is two simple facts, the first was some new information, and the second was just confirming something I already knew: 1) There is a person on this Earth by the name of Jerry Purpdrank, and 2) Adi Shankar is a weird fuckin' dude.
