Original, open to interpretation, no agenda, entertaining, well done

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021

Great film

Has replay value too since it has some mysterious/ambiguous moments open to interpretation
I like it especially because it doesn't feel contrived; its not trying to be another "this type of movie"

Its original, from the scenes to the background music it just flows nicely with somes jokes here and there but also a realistic up and down experience through this guy's life as he struggles with his issues

Its a great movie also in how it doesn't strive to be defined in a niche as a particular type of movie, I'd describe it as an offbeat indie comedy with some dark humor and introspection

Sean William Scott portrayed Stiffler's character so well in American Pie that its hard for people to take him seriously but I'd say he did a great job playing the part
They could have perhaps made his character more distinct from Stiffler by perhaps a different haircut at least but thats not important

Stiffler escaped from American Pie, skip it!

The best thing I can say about this movie is that the supporting cast were all great, well cast, and they brought life to their characters. Stiffler....is still trying to not be Stiffler while he's supposed to be playing other characters. Either that character stuck to Sean William Scott...or that's the only character he's capable of playing. It worked in American Pie, but this is a different film. They should have sent him a memo.

I watched the entire movie in one sitting, barely. Several times I had to talk myself out of quitting, in hopes that some humor would shine through or some revelation or SOMETHING worth the time I'd already invested in it. Nothing.

My advice is, if you don't like Sean William Scott playing Stiffler, especially in movies that are not American Pie, skip it.

Spoiler alert: Gretchen Mol plays her character well, the romantic interest of the Scott's character. The romance goes absolutely nowhere and the only resolution is a tiny sidenote at the end that informs us their was no happy real-life ending either. This footnote is a terrible thing to put in the film. The way the ending is framed makes it appear as though the two may have found happiness together since their characters seemed well matched throughout the film. The filmmakers even had the nerve to deny me what otherwise seemed a decently happy ending after all the time I wasted watching the whole film.

The character never grows, the movie doesn't go anywhere, and the "what really happened" update text at the end ruined an otherwise pleasant end.

Skip it.

A Rare Little Gem

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

This movie is one of those brilliantly-done little gems that comes along maybe once in a decade. I realize it's not the type of film that will appeal to the not-so-bright, and that's okay. It doesn't have to -- it has its audience.

Seann was an adequate choice as the lead, although there are others who would probably have done a better job. The script could have been somewhat more even, but the structure breakdown almost adds to the genius of the production.

I don't want to make a comparison between this and a literally-brilliant film, but this movie blows light and dark the way American Beauty does. And because it addresses the human condition on a base level, brighter people will "get it" and others won't, which is part of its beauty.

If you're into offbeat films and indies, you'll probably love this. If, however, you're looking for slob humor or other frat-boy mentality fare, you'll probably want to choose something else.

Watch a slice of life story that says sometimes screwed up people sometimes find happiness, sometimes in spite of being born wealthy... Also a contemporary statement on therapy groups as social clubs.

Funny! I can see where some people would have no patience. but it's funny if you do.

very funny. Pathetic but funny. It was a little too honest in the epilogue, really didn't need the epilog at all.

Jeff is much more handsome in person

Mr. Nichols has been a personal friend and business associate for the past three years. His disabilities are far worse than illustrated in this movie. He is also far funnier than Mr. Penn depicts.

I highly recommend Mr. Nichol's book, "Trainwreck: My Life As An Idiot", which is much better than the movie because his voice comes across more clearly.

If you happen to be in Montauk, NY, book a charter with Captain Nichols. You can find him at [...] Serious fishermen only: drunks need not apply.

I bet Seann Scott wishes he never did this one.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017

I cannot believe I managed to watch all of this movie. The only why this is funny is, if you find watching the young generation of today funny. I have been watching them every day for the past 30 years, and they quit being funny 29 years ago. The acting in the movie is good, and that is the only thing good about it. It is an hour and a half of listening to someone complain about being a loser. I think anyone with any sense, doesn't find today's generation a comedy. I wish I had believed the reviews on this one.

I've got to for the only reason - I like Gretchen Mol. Otherwise average-below average movie, although a few useful points for a young slackers if they want to listen.
