There is no doubt that this is a movie that even the widow sister can't save. It's no exaggeration to say that this is the most pin-and-felt movie I have seen on the big screen in recent years. The film's loose structure, awkward lines, exaggerated performances, and unintelligible plot are enough to make it nominated on the full list next year.
The first thing to declare is that I am a fan of Scarlett Johnson. Although I cannot say that it is fanatical, as long as it is her movie, I will definitely go to the big screen to support it. If you are like me and choose this movie for the sake of a widow, then please lower your expectations, especially if you have seen the trailer (the trailer already includes all the jokes) , Because this movie is definitely a big taint since Scarlett Johnson started filming.
The story of the film has been fully revealed in the trailer (as mentioned earlier, the laughs are basically covered in the trailer). It is nothing more than a few female girlfriends from college who reunited and organized a meeting many years later. Girls' Trip, and everyone at this time encountered different problems in their careers and lives. During this trip, they had to face the next series of Uganda due to the accidental death of a stripper. Dragon. If you insist that there is nothing in the trailer, maybe it's just a few scenes against bad guys at the end. But for such a simple story, the director still took it into a disaster. The many blunt connections and contrived back and forth echoes in the plot make people feel that this movie is being forced to complete. The stubborn stalks that I have laid out in the first half are like elementary school students writing in the back. There must be a correspondence. In fact, to be honest, if the director doesn't look forward and backward in this way, and don't care about what the response is, just piss all the way to the end, it won't make people feel so uncomfortable.
The script of this movie was put on hold in Hollywood for many years and no one dared to make it. Now I finally understand the reason. The lines of the whole movie are really embarrassing. Almost all the so-called laughter points are reduced to awkward points; the places that can really make people laugh can be counted clearly with your fingers. Some passages even make the screenwriter nervous. If you say that the line of " Women's Prison " is used as a line, it is barely acceptable, because after all, the situation when this line appears is relatively suitable. But later , a certain scene of Matt Dillon in " Crash " appeared as a line of this movie. It was originally intended as a plot to appear as a joke, but the whole theater was silent. It is estimated that if the screenwriter were there, he would have waited. I tear my own script, maybe the screenwriter of this film really doesn't understand the taste and laughter of the audience who chooses R-rated comedy. In the second half of the movie, the plot of several people is torn, and it is even more obvious that the screenwriter's skills are inadequate. A few people have no chemical reaction at first, and the forced tearing drama will only make people feel extremely deliberate; if the girlfriend is tearing, I would rather watch " Little Times ", at least I can justify the contrition and contrition of the sisters of the era. Brain-dead, but this movie is different. It makes you want to scold but can't say it. It makes people suffocate in your heart. This feeling is really unpleasant.
As for the performance of this movie, it was really another disaster. Separating the five protagonists, each one can barely be seen; but as long as they are put together, they are uncomfortable. Different personalities do not mean that they are acting differently, but when these five people are in the same frame, they are all immersed in their own world, and there is no tacit understanding with the others. Regardless of how obtrusive the female number one played by the widow sister is in appearance and role. Just looking at the chubby female second is enough to make people ridiculous. She should be the one who contributed the most embarrassment to the whole film. From powdering to eating pizza, every time she opens her expression makes her face stiff. Kate McKinnon, who was born in SNL, continued her silly route, vigorously winking her eyebrows, and exaggerating her body. Although it occasionally makes you smile a little, it is not enough to cover her and other leading actors. The fact that there is no chemical reaction.
As an R-rated comedy, you must first make it clear that you are a comedy. If even the audience is unhappy, then how can you call yourself a comedy? Blindly imposing restricted-level elements can only take up the guise of R-level at best. If you insist that the buying point of this R-rated comedy is dominated by female characters, then the " Female Spy " and " Wreckage of Life " in the past few years are obviously more successful. The two films are dominated by only one female character. The five in the movie are not a problem; if you are not looking for a team fight, " Bridesmaids " obviously won this one. Therefore, please do not use any type of label to advertise yourself, and do not try to use "female" to emphasize your position. A movie is a movie. No matter what your starting point is, you can only make a good movie before you are qualified to emphasize your selling point with the audience, and then you can bargain with the audience.
