Sarah G. @Echotech72 Nov 26 Hilarious, laughed til I cried. So stupid it's funny, the cast is fantastic. If you need a good laugh and you are open minded you will enjoy this movie. See more Jan 25 Not worth watching..... Even with small role from Melissa McCarthy. Didn't make me laugh once..... See more Capturing The Moment M Dec 11 Just a fun comedy movie, not taking anything seriously. Melissa McCarthy had such a fun but small role in this movie. Her husband was hilarious as well. Well-acted, again not supposed to be the best movie of the year, just a satire of cook-off shows. See more Early W 11/11/2024 I thought this might be another Christopher Guest mockumentary style hit but oh was I wrong. First off I want to clear Guest's name and say he had nothing to do with the film. The cast and crew seemed to want to imitate Guest's style of film making yet the improv runs too deep (and not in a funny way) and the awkward moments linger into uncomfortable territory. There really isn't much to critique when it comes to the acting. You have a good line up of seasoned comedic actors/actresses but there is only so much you can do with a bad script. Improv moments should come as an "Ah-ha! I think this line would be funnier here!" Not used as a crutch for the majority of your dialogue. You can tell during certain scenes that the actors were struggling to think of something to say. This diminishes the power of the punch line when the majority of your conversations are just awkward small talk. Also despite her being plastered across the majority of the promotional material, Melissa McCarthy is hardly in the film. For me, this was the only good thing about it! I find her shrill, nasally voice annoying as hell and her comedy follows suit. Why does Hollywood still put her in everything? Oh well, could have been worse, could have been Amy Schumer. Just watch any of Guest's funnier mockumentaries: This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, or even the lower rated Mascots was funnier than this. See more Kate W 10/19/2024 Uncomfortable. That's the key descriptive word for this one. I love "Best in Show" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous", so I had hopes when this popped up in my Suggestions. Oh, no. The gags are boring or awkward, go on for WAY too long, and most of what they say starts to blend together in their weird, high-pitched hybrid midwest-Canadian accent after the first 20 minutes. And WHY is Melissa McCarthy's face all over the promo for it? I'd rather watch "For Your Consideration" again. You know what? I didn't mean that. See more Eric S 10/14/2024 Bad, bad and so bad that is might be good? I enjoyed this movie as it had its moments and interesting angles but I would not recommend to anyone else with precious time and I would never watch it twice. See more Read all reviews
