Toddled on to see this much awaited film courtesy of www.movies.ie (i fully reccomend you get your butt over there and register for all the movie goodness they have to offer!). I hope it just isn’t my warped sense of humour but i firmly believe if you are not hurting from laughter from the opening scenes in this film there really is something wrong with you!

The film is about a handful of actors (and their egos) are thrown into a battlefield / action film and they believe it’s purely acting but when people start blowing up and actors are getting ransomed the comedy of this film really turns up a notch.

The characters played by Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise make this film for me.

Ah dont read the script dammit, script reads me. .

Not gonna bother commenting on the whole use of the ‘R’ bomb in the particular scene. Obviously there are people who have their own individual reasons for not wanting to see the film, and that’s fine. To me the film surpassed all of what ended up being a small enough portion of the film.

I would reckon this film is one to watch in the cinema. I’ve never been in a screening where so many people laughed so hard and together at what was happening on screen.

I’m going, are you?

I don’t know what’s more upseting, seen the Lois character and realising she’s not as smouldering as her on screen cartoon character but seeing them do the voice is just well weird!

This is clearly one of those, too much time on your hand kinda sites. Granted it’s in German or something but its Ronseal! Dude buys the meals and compares the final product to what is actually produced. Some of them just look nasty but would be a 43 year old batchelors wet dream!

Coming soon to a LIDL (brand quality only shitter cheaper) near you!

Le Royal with cheese anyone?

ah go on it’s Friday isn’t it. . .

I went to see this movie on it’s preview night last week, fairly sure it was the first night it was opening on and ever expecting it to be fairly packed we decided to book tickets online just to assure that we got a look in. My how wrong we could have been, I’ve been to many of the pre-launch previews and they are always packed but I would easily estimate there were 20 people in the #1 screen in omni. More spreadage space I says as I undid the belt a couple notches and started on nourishing popcorn feast for one!

I had seen the trailers for this film and had seen Will Smith being interviewed on the Johnathon Woss show and it had sealed the deal. I loved the twist they put on the super hero character by making him an alcoholic layabout. It starts with all the same style gags you see in the trailer and Will Smith plays the character brilliantly.

These gag moments won’t make the film on their own, the plot has to take a turn at some stage and when it does it shifts to an unexpected avenue. In my view this is where the film is a let down. It shifts too drastically form a hillarious goof plot to a romantic buzz theme that just doesn’t keep you interested. In my view there was a lot of scope to develop Will Smith’s character a lot more than was done.

In a year where there haven’t been a lot of decent mainstream films out it would be worth a trip to the cinema but don’t expect too much from the second half of the movie.

Context IS everything.
