American comedy needs to keep up with the times, alas

First of all I admit that I am not watching the movie in theaters, but on pptv.

Second, I complained, why did the editor of pptv put a bracket after the title of the movie, which said "half-life true love"?

Finally, I lament that American comedy really needs to keep up with the times.

The "sex topics" and "racial topics" that pop up every few minutes in the movie are no different from the American comedies of the 1980s that I watch every day on HBO. The difference is that the background of the story is placed. under the premise of the world economic crisis.

The whole movie seems to be the protagonist of Don Ready played by Jeremy Piven (the name is good and quite inspirational), but it is not deep enough in Don's play. Except for some talk show performances, the two most important influences on his life are both. It is shown by memory, which is not enough to give people the feeling of being there in addition to being slightly repetitive.

There are a lot of other characters, and the portrayal is not deep enough. After the film is over, in addition to knowing that the owner of the car dealership is gay, Babs likes young teeth, and the black uncle (forgot his name) has been looking for the real make "love". , that is to say, I was deeply impressed by the episode of the American salesmen who were instigated by Don to gang up on the Japanese. But then it seems that the Asian also explained that he is not Japanese but Korean. . . . It seems that the Japanese are also unable to raise their heads in front of the American people!

Speaking of jokes, I basically didn't laugh much during the whole process, that is, in Don's most taboo topic - the memory of killing his good friend, I thought it was quite funny, of course, it was also full of various sexes. Utensils, alas, the American film scale is big. Thinking that a piece of breast in the golden armor caused so much controversy, I can't help but feel the purity of the Chinese people.

Given three stars, I think it's not easy for Jeremy Piven to memorize such a long line, so I mentioned it from two stars to three stars.

    Sincerity is more important than eloquence.

    It's boring to look at it. . . It's brighter when the Asian guy yells that I'm not Japanese
