Girl Walks Into a Bar (2011)

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

this movie is small in many ways, the scope is to romanticize the movie by setting it mostly in bars. none of the characters develop in any way, and it seems like the producers have not spent any time in either bars or strip clubs. it was like how an 8th grader might imagine the nightlife of adults having said that, the actor playing Henry is very charming, alexis bledel is her excruciatingly adorable self even when delivering some fairly awful lines, robert forster nailed his character, amber valletta is so beautiful it hurts even while dressed as a lesbian, and carla gugino's sensuality strides over the whole productionoddly the best part of the movie is the very modest little dance number at the end during the credits. the 3 actors dance with such charm and sincerity that you find yourself wishing you lead a life that served up gorgeous little moments of humanity like this.but even that is sort of a flaw because it made you realize how much of a waste of time and talent and potential the preceding 90 minutes wereoh also emmanuelle chriqui in a very skimpy outfit gave this movie 2 extra stars

Sohpmoric series of silly skits without purpose, almost without plot, designed to titillate the senses with the cleverness of its turn of phrase but not with its turn of meaning, meandering aimlessly through dark rooms and clever turns of phrase phantasizing about the lack of clothes without any follow through, repeatedly regressing into prosaic prose without going anywhere. I think you get my drift....a college try to be clever that is clever in college but doesn't make it in the outside world where cleverness is only good for being clever, not getting anything done, finished, accomplished, or anything else. Don't bother unless you want to ogle the gorls...or was that girls....but don't expect more than titillation, for, the girl actually walks into the bar, but not much else happens...and thats that.....

Characters drink like one whiskey per minute (I'm not exaggerating), and nobody gets drunk. Bars are always completely empty but there's always some show on. The main story is nice but it's 10 minutes long. Lots of weird characters, but hey, who cares? What's the point of all this. You can look at Emmanuelle Chriqui, maybe you can get to the end without feeling you have wasted 1 hours 19 minutes. The silly western dance dury the end titles is the best part of the movie. Nice atmosphere and images overall, but I would have preferred watching a movie. I don't know what to say again but I have to continue writing IMDb says. Like writing things using more words makes something better... This policy of IMDb reminds me of this movie, it would have been good if it was a 20 minutes short film.

"Girl Walks Into a Bar" is made up of a bunch of connected scenes, each taking place in a different bar. These scenes are heavily dialog-driven (sometimes with internal dialog). Some of them work, some don't. Most of the dialog is clever, well-written, and delivered by good actors. It's unrealistic and fast paced, with no time between a line and the response to that line. This is good entertainment, but if you get bored by dialog you'll get bored fast--there's no action here.There's a sense throughout the movie that you're watching a long, fast paced joke. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you start to wonder when the punchline is going to show up, which can be distracting.Good movie overall, there's a lot of talent involved.
