This is a "documentary" about the midlife crisis

Disclaimer: Focus on film reviews, not fanciful fans.

1. On the surface, this is a fair-weather friends who help Old Virgin Kaibao story, but in fact it is a film about the midlife crisis of a documentary .

2. The middle-aged Andy is not married, has no girlfriend, and doesn't like to play with colleagues. He lives a two-point-one-line life every day, at most joking with an old couple upstairs.

3. The male protagonist Andy lives in his own world. At first he was not alone until he was dragged into the "real world", a "flower world" by his colleagues.

4. The protagonist Andy likes to collect all kinds of toys , gets up every day to exercise, plays the instrument twice occasionally, and leads a regular life; and his colleagues like to play cards, pick up girls, and have parties several times a week.

5. Steve Carell has acted in several other movies about midlife crisis, such as "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (crazy and stupid love), "Dan in Real Life" (kiss father). Of course, the movie about the mid-life crisis is a specific type in the United States.

6. When the heroine and Andy began to fall in love, the first sentence they asked was "what are your plans for the future", and the hero answered "I want to open a shop". It can be seen that even in the United States, when two people are heading for love and marriage, they must also consider these realities.

7. The bar is a very important scene in American culture.

8. In the movie, there are some topics that are often mentioned in China, such as selling second-hand goods on eBay , dating for 8 minutes on blind dates , and " picking up dead bodies " in bars .

9. Is it because the US law and order is not good? Why does the male protagonist Andy take a bicycle to the office every time he rides to the company.

10. There is a problem with this movie, which is that the filming is relatively slow. For example, the section of removing the chest hair is really as slow as making a documentary.


In this world, there are still so many beautiful music, movies, and books that have not had time to listen, watch, and read, but time is running, I can't hold it back, thinking of this, I actually have tears in my eyes...
