Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
this seems be the source of its success. a film about ordinary , every day small things. nothing new. but presented in the right light. this fact changing everything. because it is one of films who seems be a form of improvisation example. in the most simple manner. young people. a coffee shop. different problems, smart solutions, incidents and weakness in many forms. friendship, fears, love and life lessons. and, more. because the viewer becomes part of cast. so, a cool film !
A couple of reviews compared this movie to other Director's efforts and I will add one more. This movie reminded me of Josh Radnor's movies and with the narration of his "How I met your Mother" show. The lead is a likable flawed character with an assortment of odd friends and a delightful antagonist played by Josh Groban. Like "Mother" they all come together in the local watering hole, in this case, coffee shop. You add in the romantic love interest played by "Friday Night's Light" alumni Palicki and you have a nice chemistry that could probably fuel its own series. Very little toilet humor, no drugs or other such staples of your average comedy movie these days. If you like "New Girl"'s Jake Johnson, don't blink or you will miss him.
Well I've seen the trailer and a person reviewing this movie seems to be pretty good but what i'm not proud of is that their is a bit too much toilet humor in it. I mean it might be funny but hearing it constantly it's not very good. Even the story is like friends having fun and all. I would be proud to see this movie if it didn't had to much toilet humor.Also the plot line is like constantly surrounding the main characters except for Sam. We need to see more of Sam than like the other guys, it's like they are the BIG TIME stars than the other ones. Josh Groban's character is like hilarious. I would like to see more of his character than will and his buddies.
I found this film by accident and am glad I did. What a great film, great comic timing, a great storyline and a great cast. Yes I thought the film was great. The film harks back to the films Kevin Smith made in the beginning of his career and I wish he had continued. I thoroughly enjoyed this film from its brilliant and creative opening credits to its little jokes in the end credits. There were actual laugh out loud moments and I really think that Josh Groban stole the show.The cast worked well together and they all seemed to enjoy the film. The extras, down to Phil's happy birthday opera being dismissed was really funny. Those who hate politically incorrect jokes may not enjoy the film as much as I did, but if you just enjoy a joke for the sake of a joke then this film is one to see.
