Her entire routine seems to be "I have a vagina and swear", she's not funny at all.

True but it's kinda new thing in the States for a Female comic to do the things she does. But I agree she's not funny.

Saw this at the weekend and I'd go 50:50 on it. Some good stuff, some nicely placed subtle jokes

I like the conversation about the kids playing with the stick & hoop, comparing it to modern video games, also the translation of 'Mila Kunis' meaning 'Fine' in Indian

and cameos,

Dr Brown, Django, Ewan McGregor (I think) and Ryan Reynolds

.

A grand all round comedy, helped out alot by Charlize Theron.

S.M.B.

Yeah, agree with that. Enjoyable enough if a little too long.

A lot of the best visual gags were in the trailer but I too enjoyed some of the subtler jokes.

And I'm fond of Sarah Silverman, her stand up isn't anything to write home about but she's someone I'm always happy to see in a cast.

What scene was

Ewan McGregor?? I didn't see that but I liked the fact that Ryan Reynolds was in Ted too, Dr Brown was the icing on the cake

it was

At the fair, when everyone was laughing at NPH's bad 'joke' and SMcF asked everyone what was funny, EMcG was the guy that said 'Eh I dunno'.

, but I could be recalling that all wrong

It was the accent I picked up on.

Some good scenes, some dreadfully unfunny ones.

The moustache song and trip scenes total winners to be fair.

constitutionus

i thought it was great.

lot more romantic in places than i thougt it'd be.

its not brilliant and though not all the best gags are in the trailer you'd definetly enjoy it more if you didnt see any of them, but still all in all not a bad way to pass the afternoon.

theron was clearly having a blast with the material.

Saw this today, really enjoyed it!!
Nothing amazing or spectacular but definitly just good fun of a movie, made me actually laugh out loud a lot, wasnt expecting that!
And an actual good story too, not just slapstick, will definitly go again methinks

Thought it was terrible tbh. At best mildly amusing but I spent the whole (looong) 2 hours waiting for a good hearty laugh that I never got. Seth was also far from charismatic and the banal and predictable plot really made the film crawl along. Would have been better as just wall to wall comic madness instead of getting bogged down on such an obvious and boring story.

Meh, was nicely shot (as good a pun as any in the film! :pac: ) though I'll give it that.

Didn't laugh out loud once. I did smile at the barn cameo, but that's about it.

As most reviews said, the funniest bits were in the trailers. The problem is that I've seen them so many times over the last few months that they just weren't funny any more.

titan18

One of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Think I smiled once during the film (can't even remember at what).

DrumSteve

I enjoyed it for what it was. Some good laughs in there also, didnt feel it drag myself.

If thats the case then it must be shockingly bad

Looks like a fun movie i think i would enjoy this.

I was just thinking that after seeing the message you quoted there, I mean upon seeing the trailer to this I just thought meh and thought it was a tad crap looking but it being Seth McFarlane, Family Guy etc and I loved Ted I still wanted to give it a shot

Dont go by the trailer, anyone whos planning on seeing it, imho anyway it was definitly better than the trailer - just escapist fun type of movie, nothing spectacular but Ive definitly seen a lot worse which have called themselves "comedies" :rolleyes:

I was waiting for a Mel Brooks cameo


Giovanni Ribisi's Edward was the best character by far, needed more of him


Anyone else spot Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell


Seth and Charlize had good chemistry but I still don't think Seth was good in the lead

That_Guy

Went to see this last night and enjoyed it for what it was. It's not exactly clever humour but thought it was a good way to kill a couple of hours. Pretty much instantly forgettable but I did laugh a good many times. Few jokes fell very flat on occasion.

Had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised.

EDIT: The moustache song is still stuck in my bloody head

kriters8

uh....actually,the title I was shocked.

It wasn't really funny. It was witty. But I never laughed out loud, like I wanted.

I absolutely hated it and it just made me wish I was watching Blazing Saddles instead,

The sheriff is near!

Well, to tell a family secret..my grandmother was Dutch.

This was very disappointing I thought. Trailer has all the funniest bits. Although I did think

the Doc Brown scene

was very clever, and Charlize looked better than ever. But it just wasn't very funny

Exactly, half the scenes are like comedic dead ends. They set up something that could potentially be very funny but then just end. It's so bizarre, as if it was directed and written by something who's never even done comedy before.

expectationlost

theron laughed way too hard at seth's characters jokes, looked far too dreamily at his duplo unstructured face

Shane-KornSpace

I was disappointed to be honest, but I did laugh out loud at several jokes.
Seths dad provided a few good laughs and the Barn cameo was just excellent.

The moustache song is stuck in my, still, after a week.

Also, Theron looked amazing!

Tigger

the moustache song is real btw

Very disappointing. Few laughs but overall quite flat.

meoklmrk91

It was okay, probably won't ever watch it again, found it way too long, got seriously antsy about half way through, it could have been cut down a lot more, it really didn't need to be anywhere near 2 hours long. I did chuckle a bit here and there but that was it really.

Has anyone seen the new Unrated cut of this yet and does it improve things?

True, but sometimes a different cut of a film can make a huge difference.
