Joseph’s expression on the thumbnail says it all
That's how I can tell it's gonna be a GOOD one 😂
Oh gosh Joseph’s face is my reaction Margaret Qualley’s twang accent in the trailer 🙃
All she has to do is listen to her mother. Lol
Margaret Qualley sounded like a lesbian Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob in this movie
She's so annoying
Quick follow up comment: Margaret Qually came in the audition with a low key accent. They told her to ham it up. I think it sounds horrible! I say this, as someone who grew up in the south.
Growing up in the south I knew some people that talked like Margaret Qually in this movie but they themselves always seemed to be "hamming it up" by really leaning into their accents. you know what I mean? Then over the years I met people in other parts of the country that did their versions of it too... my sister lived in New York for many years and when I visited the city I loved to hear some of the people that lived in the different boroughs because it reminded me of some folks I knew in the south, guys that just turned the twang dial to eleven but then sometimes you'd hear them talking seriously to someone, or conducting business of some sort, and their twang dial would be turned way down... ever know any of those guys? Where once in a while you'd hear how they actually talk? And it's really just a little twang ... like you and everyone else you know in town? Her character reminds me a lot of how those guys talked when they were turned up.
In a way, it also reminds me of a few characters in Fargo... I do remember around that time someone from North Dakota telling me much of the accent stuff in that movie was very exaggerated. There are obviously huge differences in Fargo and this movie and just so much going on in Fargo that the accents blend into the whole in their own way, there's a great balance of tones going on there. ...but in this film I think her accent ends up standing out too much, that's the best way I can describe it. They should have just let her do her low-key version, probably was good and a better fit for the movie, she can be really good. A case of overdirecting maybe
23:11 "Maybe I'm not funny....I don't think that's true" 😂 literally how I always feel when everyone in the theater is laughing except for me
Why the hell would they want to go to Tallahassee? Florida? I live here and most people do not want to be here.
FR. Every friend I've had at one point or another in New England moved to Florida and then came back less than a year later 😂
It was the 90s. It was a different time.
They just wanted to weird girl to say talllyahassseeeee. Thars literally it
😂😂😂😂😂
fsu is the only nice thing about tallahasee. the city is boring and theress nothing to do there
‘These two ladies are told “You need to get to Tallahassee tomorrow”, the next day, but Jamie’s crazy ass is like “Oh, no. Here’s my map. Here are all the like lesbian things we need to do on our way down to Tallahassee”, so they get sidetracked.’🤣
And I love that Nick keeps referring to her as ‘little white Michelle Williams’ (to distinguish her from the singer) in several reviews. 🤣
I wonder if lesbians were involved in the production of this movie. She has hot drawers. You guys crack up. Today is my birthday. I'm so happy to consistently watch your reviews. Because you guys bring me constant joy with your humor and savage ways. As for this movie I'm disappointed that it has been receiving mixed to poor reviews. The trailer captured my interest and looked good.
Happy birthday 🎉
It was co-written (and according to press interviews, co-directed as well) by Tricia Cooke, a lesbian. She just didn't get a directing credit due to DGA rules.
I honestly love hearing you guys review films you don’t like. It gives me life. Just came back from watching this.
Big ups to me! When you first showed the decapitated head I sat here thinking "that's looks like Pedro Pascal." I love knowing nothing about these movies until I hear about them from y'all! 😆
I think we're all just waiting on Love Lies Bleeding right now. 😂 This premise sounds good but is clearly lacking all sorts of development. Thank you guys. 😊
Enjoying your reviews Nick and Joseph, listen in from Australia. Usually on the way home from seeing the movie.
I thought the girl in the thumbnail was Miley Cyrus lol
*oh…. it IS Miley Cyrus lmao
Same! 😂
I have some alleged tea about the making of this movie. The woman who wrote this, Ethan's partner/wife, wrote this from her experiences. They are in an open relationship. So, she is the lesbian involved in writing tis movie. It was originally written in the mid 1990's and its only coming out now. It's original title was Drive Away D!k!s. I don't know that all that is true, but I have heard it from 2 reviewers who loved this movie....IDK, maybe I'll check it out. You are the best!
That's pretty much what Ethan and his partner said a few days ago during a Q&A in Brooklyn! (Not the open relationship but the rest)
Well well...okaaaaay Cool
So its a story about his wifes boyfriend who is a girl? Why cant they just be normal?
:(
I wanted to like this, but it was boring. I considered walking out. I rarely even consider walking out on a movie. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the no chemistry between the leads.
It definitely was a movie. While a lot of things didn’t work I enjoy watching experimental movies like this. It was a plus that it stared two lesbians as the main characters. Definitely agree with everything you said.
12:39 wow that UPN comment gave me flash backs 😂
In Wikipedia, Tricia Cooke is referenced as revealing in an interview that she is a lesbian. For what that's worth.
This felt like an snl spoof of Greg Araki movies from the 90s, except with none of the authenticity and rawness of those films and way too much confidence in its sense of humor.
Beyond the accent, the lead protagonist is a complete creep who cheats on her gf who pays for everything and kicks her out so she immediately decides to make it her life mission to get her uptight friend loosen up (with her of course).
She’s the stereotypical oversexed recruiter trope. Interesting that they had to add the scenes of the “love interest” childhood discovery of her attraction to girls, and a throwaway line about how she hasn’t slept with anyone since her last gf several years before. Without these lines of dialogue every behavior from the protagonist reads as a way pushy seducer trying to “turn” a gay virgin.
How the gay community wouldn’t be mostly offended by these tired tropes by now is difficult to understand but looking at the box office they clearly are speaking with their wallet.
I agree completely, Jamie pissed me off so much
I almost always agree with you guys, this channel is becoming a great indicator on whether I'll likely enjoy a movie
I love these reviews!!!!
Weeelllll.... She's like "Balls To The Wall Lesbian" makes perfect sense.... Trust!!??!!
Nearly 30 minutes? This movie must be a clunker. 😂
Sucked so bad I literally walked out of the theater
Balls to the wall lesbian made my day!! You guys are really the best!
Senator Matt Damon tshirts😅
Great video! 🎉
Just watched it. It REALLY doesn’t work. The tone is all over the place, the jokes aren’t funny… I was very surprised by how broad it was. It feels like Burn After Reading if it was directed by Brett Ratner….
Walked into this without knowing anything about it but I had a really good time watching this!
There's so much I could write, but I'm only going to say that this movie is not even 85 minutes yet it felt like an eternity. I was so bored and underwhelmed that I MYSELF started reading (finishing up Brothers Karamazov) during the movie (I sat in the back of the theatre and read on my phone on dark mode). I also googled during the movie to double-triple check that this was the same director as beloved Fargo, Big Lebowski. Unbelievable. This is what happens when you make a movie solely to impress someone in your life.
How can a *comedy road film* fail...😲Poll quote: A heist film written by Aliens - the question: do we know any other previous 'works' by, "Aliens?!" 😅Goes on the "worse list!"
Lol! My friends and I said he looked like Jake Gyllenhaal and JK Simmons
Literally walked out of the theatre with my gf 30 mins ago. This movie was terrible and I don’t recommend this shit show
you make this movie sound funny and crazy. i couldnt stop laughing. i am sure people will wan t see this just to know what those hot drawers look like
It is funny and crazy!
i was really underwhelmed by this film. i’m a gay woman and the big lebowski is one of my all time favorites so i was prepared to love it going in but it just didn’t deliver for me.
Hopefully Ethan isn't lacking in directing talent compared to Joel cause MacBeth feels so much more confident. Even the silly movies they've made together like Raising Arizona has so much more charm than this
Everything they said about this movie I agreed with. I would’ve given it 1 out of 5 though. It was not a good film.
Great review as usual. I LOVE the Coen BROTHERS, but this mess is the first movie I’ve walked out of in a long time. I even sat through all of Night Swim!! I had a bad feeling from the first scene with Pedro Pascal…
I agree with Nick though, I also loved The Tragedy Of Macbeth.
Maybe this is a case of intellectually conjoined twin directors like the Wachoskis. They suck when they go solo.
Ethan sucks. Joel’s film was good.
Wish this movie did come out in the 90s probably would have been better lol.
Absurd. It’s a good word to describe this shit.
There was no point to making this movie.
You should have brought me in as intimacy correspondent.
I watched it last night in the cinema and I liked it
The trailer made it come off as a pulpfiction inspiered comedy. I was throughly lied to. Found the movie boring over all.
Hello Gentlemen!! Any chance that you will be reviewing "Out of the Darkness" the new prehistoric film? 🦖🦕🎉
Not at the moment
@fishjellyfilmreviews OK. Thank you for the reply back! Looking forward to your other reviews!
I thought it was horrid lol. Just my opinion
@calilove5758 Using their 🐟🍇 rating scale, I was hovering between giving it a 2 and a 2.5*
@jay-dubdubb2292 I would say 2. Not something I would ever watch again
Saw it today definitely glad I didn’t bring my mom it was funny some of the time but it also was all over the place I had fun but probably wouldn’t watch it again
lol @ “hot drawers”.
Yeah, this was a big miss for me. Shame. Such a great cast.
I am so glad I watched this. I loved the poster for the film and I was tempted by the '90s vibes ... but I didn't know the subject, which seems a little "meh" ... for "a" Cohen. I will watch when it streams ....maybe. lol
I was messed up as all get out when I watched this movie. Still unwatchable
I loved the movie and so did Miley
It was a replay of True Romance but not as good and just Lesbian gag jokes. I feel like they left a lot on the editing room floor that might of made the movie better but they felt they needed to cut it down.
I’m still confused by the Miley Cyrus scenes 😂 were you supposed to be high to understand this?
Oh yeah, it’s absolutely an absurd stoner comedy. I think that’s what everyone else is missing
i liked this movie. i thought it was a funny tight 90
What was the deal with this movie? It was just awful, nothing funny in it at all.
Saw this movie and it was not good. Walked out 15 minutes in. Poorly cast Poorly written and Poorly performed. Should have listened to their review.
I watched this today. this was the worst movie ive ever seen. the plot was stupid and the acting was horriific. i had no issues with them being lesbians. the delivery on the jokes was atrocious, the jokes were gross. the only redeeming quality is the indian g irl. she is very beautiful. but, everything about this movie was offensive. even if your gay, this movie is offensive. this movie was awful from the very start. id warn against attending this movie
The only good things in the movie was how the sex scenes were made and when that one dude lost it all and shot his 2 buddies. Only time i laughed the entire movie. Besides that i sat there with a straight face. Was just boring
I had fun with it. I will take this every time over boring-ass Tragedy of Macbeth
