Dissapointed, But its OK

            This movie was a decent movie. It did not “wow” or hint of greater possibilities for the film. The movie wasn’t bad either. I wouldn’t watch the movie twice, and I’m still not sure whether I would recommend the movie. I only watched it because Jason Segel was in it. The other main aspects of the film such as plot, directing, and acting wasn’t exceedingly impressive; it was merely competent.

            The mood of the film was all together easy going. However, this proved to be a double-edged sword. When the film tried to generate an emotion such as happiness or a conflict, it was overridden by the easy-going mood. The audience didn’t “feel” the emotions of the movie. Instead, they were subjugated to watch a bland movie with no emotional kick.

            The plot, directing, and acting were mediocre, but all had their issues. The plot was clichéd and uninspired. The directing was probably the worst of the three. The cuts were too fast, the zooming was irrelevant and dreadful, and some of the shot selections were questionable. If directing was the worst, then the acting was the best. The cast gave a decent performance. Their efforts were undermined by the lack of any quality emotion emitted from the film.

            There’s really nothing more to say about this film. Clearly, my review makes the film look horrible, but it really wasn’t that bad. It was okay, but it wasn’t a waste of time. Its difficult to recommend the movie, so “Proceed At Your Own Risk.”
