Nicholas B If Jeff Baena had ever hoisted a red flag for all to see, it would be hard to imagine it flying as high as it does here in Joshy. I really loved The Little Hours, and thought Spin Me Around was well under appreciated, but Joshy has problems that are hard to articulate without sounding reductive and glib. Whilst much of Baena's unique and incisive take on comedy/drama is evident here, this one is basically just tonally off. It only works by forcing it to work, and that gets pretty uncomfortable once you realise what you're doing. Still, it's a real loss we won't see any more of what Jeff may have had to offer. He was really onto something truly special with his work. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Audience Member 0.77 laughs/min. Meh. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Dang... I can't believe the low audience score. It's a little bro-ey but also feels very real to how a group of guys would handle the events involved - no spoilers. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/20 Full Review Audience Member Decent watch, not expecting to watch again, and can't recommend. With Middleditch on the cover, and not knowing anything about the movie, I expected a decent attempt at a comedy, and I recognized other faces. And my heart lit up at the surprise of Alison Brie, which became a crash too quickly for me. The rest of the movie is just watching aggressive, controlling idiots fight with each other about the situation while the two people with the most problems try and fail to manage everything. The "go with the flow" attitude could be a good lesson for the movie, but for the absolute shattering in the 3rd act that says, "Here's reality, deal with your shit." Instead you end up with a "do what you can" lesson that feels really depressing. I feel like we shouldn't make depressing comedies, but this movie obviously had an important meaning for someone. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The real moments in this movie feel uncomfortably real. Which is a good thing because they are all pretty uncomfortable moments. I kept thinking about scenes in this movie for two or three days after watching it. It definitely made an impact and made me think. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member "Remember guys positive vibes" For the average viewer the opening scene may be too dark - rightfully so. If it was too dark for you then you are an average joe. As the movie plays out, it's building the idea that friends are supposed to be there for you, and while they have the right intentions, their actions don't align because of men's culture. They never address the trauma. They try to push it down with booze, drugs, strippers and hookers - never acknowledging what's really fucking them up. Incredible acting, real, hard storyline that captures what it's like being a man in this day and age. Life is complicated and we all want it to be simple.
