Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The go-for-broke attitude of the entire endeavor keeps an audience on its toes nonetheless, a necessity when keeping up with a madman like McInnes. Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Noah Berlatsky The Dissolve The truth, unfortunately, is that the writing is flabby and tedious, and McInnes' delivery has little charisma or charm. The film is like being stuck in an elevator with a boorish drunk for an hour and a half. Rated: 1/5 Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Funniest movie i've seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and entertaining and silly. Saw this several months ago.Check it out for a good laugh Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and you can tell the movie has heart! Love Gavin. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Started off good, but it turned out to be exaggerated and predictable. Alarms first went off at the extremely clichéd makeover-montage-while-the-other-person-sits-in-a-chair-in-the-middle-of-the-store-as-if-any-store-would-allow-that. Decent characters although a bit one-dimensional and cookie cutter. The dialogue would've been good if they only stopped at the point where it goes from 'witty and fresh' to 'nobody talks like that'. I had a couple of sincerely loud laughs, but by the end it felt like eating through a cardboard box just to get to the m&m's in the middle, and then having to eat through the rest of the cardboard box. Nice try and nice style, but it was very overcooked, the team has to find the right balance. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A hilarious ride down a path of becoming an alpha male. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member really wanted to like this movie. but when he cheated on his wife half way thru the movie thats when i shut it off. pretty disappointed.
