So last night i watched a little film called Movie 43,
well i say little but with the amount of big names that appear in it little probably isn't the right word.
I thought that i would give you guys a quick review on what i thought.
So sit back, relax and have a read.
Well lets start with a basic outline of the movie, beware of any spoilers.
Clearly from the poster it is a comedy, based around the rival of two brothers trying to get on up on the other. The movie really gets into things when the older brother and his friend attempt to steal the younger brothers computer to put some virus on it and there for slowing it up ( baring in the mind the young of the two is a supposed computer wiz)
However the only way they can get him away from his computer is to lure him away by telling him about this horrific (made up) movie they want to find on the internet but cant find. This movie being Movie 43.
From here the younger brother falls for the trap and starts searching the internet on the older brothers computer for said Movie 43. In doing this he finds lots of clips that claim to be Movie 43 but are not quiet what he is looking for.
The audience watching the clips that he finds are what make up the rest of the movie.
Are you still with me ?
Right so thees ensemble cast movies has been a big hit in the last couple of years such as 'Valentines Day' and 'New Years Eve', and if I'm honest i really enjoy them. I don't know about everyone else but i just love the thrill of seeing all the big names working together in one film, and this one is not short of big names.
From Halle Berry, to Hugh Jackman.
Kate Winslet and Richard Gere...
of all people i did not expect to see Richard Gere in this.
The clips are what really keep your interest in this film, the main story with the brothers is okay but that is just it, it's okay. Not something that would hold your attention for 1hr and a half.
I think what i enjoyed most about the clips section of the film was not just that they was funny but it was some seriously outrageous humor. No holding back from this one. It is just ludicrous and for all of you with a a twisted sense of humor like me, this is defiantly one for you.
However this is one that im glad i didnt see in the cinema's. Yes it is funny but i do feel at times that the storys between the brothers was forced just to give them a reason to get all the big name actors in the film. I think a lot more time could have been take on the script to create a much better reason to show all the clips and scetches. Or maybe thats's just me being a bit snotty and i have to take what the film is, a ludicrous film with a ludicrous story line.
Over all i would recommend this film as a must watch at least one.
A second watch might leave you feeling a bit lack luster as a lot of the humor comes from the surprise and shock.
