Kate Fields (Mamrie Hart) is turning 30 and life kinda sucks. Her long-time friends Evie (Grace Helbig) and Charlie (Hannah Hart) have their own difficulties. They find a letter from Kate's 16 year old self. She allows them to throw her a small and tasteful birthday party but...This is a film featuring a bunch of YouTube personalities. I'm sure that it's great for their fans. For everybody else, this is like every other single gal comedy by a second tier comedy troupe. They are functional comedic actors. There is nothing here that's going to blow anybody's mind. It has a few harmless jokes and a general knowledge of every single gal tropes. The party needs to go more crazy, faster and harder. It runs out of steam by the midway point. Instead of taking off into a wild night, it gets dull.
... View MoreOK i am a huge fan of Mamrie,Hannah,and Grace's YouTube channel so I knew I would watch this eventually and I had super low expectations for it. I haven't really trusted YouTuber movies (after the hell hole that was Smosh the movie),but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Camp Takota (their previous movie) was OK, but ultimately a Netflix movie, but Dirty 30?? I'm glad I spent $10 and bought it on amazon. This movie is fun and happy. This movie is just a party movie that isn't a high school one, but teens can still enjoy it. Watching it was an adventure that I want to live over and over again. Also let's just say I was super happy with Charlie's (Hannah Hart's) story line.
... View MoreAnyone who Youtube will know all 3 of the main actors: Hannah Hart; Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart. They got together for this movie and I believe they hit the cinema nail right on it's head. The film is colourful, well paced, well acted for what it is, nicely written with great dialogue, witty and charming and a little emotional in parts. There's plenty of cuteness to keep people interested but not enough to turn it smulchy. It's about as believable as any film of this genre and very formulaic, but that doesn't stop it rising to the heap of all the other unbelievable and formulaic movies. The only time I write reviews is if a film touched me or moved me in some way, be that positively or negatively, and this one was definitely a feel good, positive surprise. I've given it the highest rating I ever give a film and that's because tonight that's exactly what it deserved.
... View MoreStraight off the bat, Dirty 30 is an above average film that will at the very least keep you slightly entertained for an hour and a half. It's pure, harmless fun with solid performances from the very likable Mamrie Hart, Hannah Hart and Grace Helbig (the YouTube Holy Trinity), who play three best friends. I would have liked to see more character development for Hannah Hart's character (Charlie) as I thought she was the most interesting of the 3. Does this film bring anything new to the table? No, not really. Think of this as the mild-mannered lovechild of Project X and Bridesmaids. It's a predictable film that played it really safe but is still a charming little film nonetheless.The weakest aspect of this film is a forced high-school romance between two incredibly forgettable characters that the film could have completely done without. Each time these two characters were on screen, the energy and pace of the film was slowed down and all I wanted to do was get back to the fun bits. Overall, I think big YouTube fans will enjoy this one the most as there are a bunch of awesome cameos to look forward to.
