Review by Liam Roach
Movie 43 is a Comedy sketch film which stars some of the
biggest stars in Hollywood such as Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman, and has a
variety of different directors for each sketch, with their own vision comedy
that they want to representation of what they think would entertain an audience
of comedy fans or even fans of their variety of the biggest stars in Hollywood
right now.
From my point of view, I would say that Movie 43 is one of
the biggest disaster of a comedy film I’ve ever seen. It just attracts it
audience through the big named actors who have attracted a mass audience
throughout their acting career, but the audience are set to be let down through
some of the actors performances, as they are trying to challenge themselves by
starring in a genre of film that wouldn’t work for them, when they have
backgrounds of action or drama films, which was able to give a majority of
their actors the success they had.
Even though a majority of the actors in this film have shown
a major downfall, there was one sketch in particular that I found quite funny,
which starred Gerard Butler, Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and Esti
Ginzburg, which was called “Happy Birthday”, and was directed by Brett Ratner.
The reason I felt that the scene worked and made the film slightly funny was
that they’ve used actors who are used to being part of this genre, as you have
Seann William Scott who is known for starring in the American Pie films, and
Johnny Knoxville who is a part of the Jackass films and TV series. With this
pairing, it makes the actors probably feel in their comfort zone, especially
Johnny who is usually a part of practical comedy. But that pretty much the best
entertainment that the film will provide for those watching the film.
I didn’t like how the film is set out, as it seems like they
don’t have any real storyline to it and doesn’t have no real ending to it, as
the clip they go back to is stupid and isn’t needed for the film. Also, it
seems more suited to be put on TV, as their shows like Movie 43, except it
wouldn’t last through one series as it lacks a lot of good quality comedy.
The one thing that mainly goes through my mind when watching
this film is why these A-List stars would decide to be a part of this type of
film, as even reading this script, they were still keen on doing this film,
which can make fans wonder if the actors are going downhill or possibly trying
to go in a different direction which could make their fans lose interest in
them.
The only group of people who I would recommend Movie 43 to is
those who enjoy stupid comedies which are random through its layout and so
called “Storyline”. If you are into those sort of films, then I would say for
you to go see it, but if you actually like a comedy that is good and makes
sense, then I would recommend you to keep as far away from this film as you
possibly can, as it’s the biggest waste of money that you could spent to watch
a film.
I strongly believe that Movie 43 is one of the worst films
that I’ve ever seen, and I believe that I was tricked into seeing this film
through how entertaining the trailer actually is, which I hope the trailer
doesn’t have the same affect on those who look at the trailer of the film,
because you’ll be prepared to be let down watching this film, with it’s very
few laughs for a comedy, except the sketch that I mentioned earlier.
I would like to sum up this review saying how let down I
felt watching these A-List celebrities giving themselves a bad reputation just
through deciding to star in one film that is a lot of rubbish and doesn’t have
any real point of been created as a film, as to be honest I could recreate that
sort of films just by watching random videos on youtube of the most random
videos that you wouldn’t expect to be shown on TV or Cinema, that’s how amateur
the film is presented to the audience. If you are interested in seeing this
film, even though I have rated this film so low, Movie 43 is out on DVD and
Blu-Ray now.
