It's better to use slingshots directly at people's glass to intimidate and see if you laugh. I doubted myself a little, how could I sit until the end, from beginning to end, without taking a nap, only lost an hour and a half in complaining and haha, and I also knew a little about the reason for the small-scale screening.
Will Ferrell's first production, coupled with Adam McKay's fuse role, thought that the film wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't good. In the end, it really felt like I was in the second-hand market. The screenwriter's skills are not at home, and the director's leadership ability is not strong enough. Although the ideas that come up are very good, the way of expression and the skills of storytelling are all at the amateur level. He also responded to the director's words, "This drama belongs to the entire crew, not just a few screenwriters." He underestimated the director's ability to identify and correct errors. He has no backbone, and this undisciplined free play Sometimes it is a tumor, how can the hodgepodge be so colorful? Disappointment is a bit big.
I feel that this thing is very strange. If I like it, I want to express my emotions. If I don't like it, I want to complain. This movie could have been very funny and very endearing, but something went wrong in some aspects, and they only felt that they were having a good time, completely ignoring the audience watching the film. In other words, if you change the director and change the male pig's feet, the movie will at least look better than it is now. It is said that director Neil Brennan chose Jeremy Piven as soon as he saw the script, what a magical star hitting the orangutan. It's not that I hate Jeremy Piven, I can understand his pressure, but the performance is too staged, and this role is not suitable for him.
In other words, this movie has a solid production foundation, as well as funny and popular elements. At the same time, it has won the essentials of American comedy. Take off without spending money, scolding without spending money, then use it as much as you like. The seemingly absurd lines are actually the most violent revelations. Politics, economics, injustice, race, terror, war can all be involved, but the result that has to be faced is full of regrets. Don't make a comedy like this, can you stop shouting that I'm a comedy and then exaggerating it, we're not three-year-old or four-year-old little Gabangdou.
Stupid is stupid, questions and answers are mixed with commentary. Suddenly, I thought for a while. Neil Brennan estimated that he was so comforted when he was filming that he was unable to do what he wanted. Anyway, he was considered a newcomer on the big screen.
First, in the United States, even if you don’t have a house to live in, you have to have a car for transportation, regardless of whether it’s a new one or an old one. The driver’s license is as important as our ID card and temporary residence permit. With this as a background, there's no reason why the story isn't deep and full.
Second, the insights from real life. Since before the production, the crew members have to join in the prenatal preparations. Whether it is collecting more practical materials, or listening to the cutting-edge secrets of the industry, whether it is laughing or ironic, the story of the sales industry is really a hornet's nest that can sting people. In the end, it was silent. What happened?
Third, another carnival party of a group of scumbags. Jeremy Piven, James Brolin, David Koechner, Ed Helms, Ken Zheng, etc., old and young men who are accustomed to playing wildly together Yes, if there is me, there may be you too. Familiarity with each other is not a hindrance, and there is no problem with individual performances. How can you be stupid? Speaking of gimmicks, it's not without it. Will Ferrell left himself a hapless character, fell from the plane, was bounced to heaven, and came back with the angel to save his friends and crusade against frequent plane crashes; Wen Rhames got rid of the same period The image of the killer man, but also to challenge the salesman who yearns for innocence and has a legitimate career. Alan Thicke continued the image of the great father in "Growing Pains" and began to spoil the adult son who played rock and roll, and the result was wonderful. All annihilated in a pot of wonton soup.
Fourth, the advertisement is very straightforward and innocent. Like Bob Seger's homage, I have no objection, and it happens that I also eat his works of the old man. When I was watching Adam Sandler's "From the Heart," I imagined that the music coming out of his headphones was "turn the page." Back in the day, Tom Cruise wore a T-shirt with his old man's portrait on it. But you can sing as you sing, pretend to drift by inadvertently, and add "this song is my favorite" after the end, which shows our high-profile sincerity.
And that Head & Shoulders ad, the pretty MM didn't know if she realized she was being slapped, she should be paid, and she had to fight for advertising fees. A single cut out, absolutely fragrant enough advertising effect. It's a bit confusing to think about it now. It's not that the director deliberately made the audience entertain the absurdity.
Speaking of the plot alone, I think part of the fault is actually in the gang coaxing. In addition to the "single duel" competition, the "group hug" must also be added. But these days, if a comedy has a lot of responses or a collective dizziness, it will basically be labeled as clumsy or naive, and the audience's IQ is not taken seriously. In order to smoke a cigarette, it started with a tongue-in-cheek performance on the plane, and when the salesperson and the customer faced each other, the applause of the hero's return was used, and the ghost of the zombie ghost was also invited. It's not that you can't use it like this, it's really not technical.
Another mistake is "San", the story and the characters are too thin, the plot is not closely connected, and no one has a persuasive comic character that runs through, Jeremy Piven has nothing but a mouth. Happy Coke. In the low mood part, it was indeed time to be low. Will Ferrell brought two angels and beat him back to the supporting role in two minutes, making everyone take advantage of it.
The background music of the whole movie makes me happy, there are many familiar melodies, although the whole is not in tune, but those beautiful pop notes make this movie more enjoyable. At the end of the movie, Jeremy Piven turned the tide and turned the tide, but it's a bit of that, but at a glance it can be seen that it is part of the show, and the character of self-proclaimed beauty has not changed. If you just want to understand the plot, 25 minutes after watching is enough.
