The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Whether or not you will like this special depends on whether or not you like Brian Posehn. Comedy is like that -- while some people (e.g. George Carlin) are legendary, others have their niche. Posehn definitely has his niche.If you like jokes about Star Wars, flatulence, Christian Slater and masturbation, then Posehn may be the guy for you. He is the biggest nerd ever to walk the Earth (possibly) and it is reflected in his sense of humor.Some of the jokes told here were already told on John Oliver's stand-up show, so you may have heard them before if you watched Oliver. It is only a small amount of material, and he definitely expands on those themes here. So, the lead-in might be the same but the stories go in slightly different directions.
