You would think this movie was a early comedy in all these actors careers. Nope, caught me by surprise when I saw 2016. Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick and Brian Cranston come on now you know this was just a paycheck for them. Straight up paint by numbers story. I gave it a 4 because there were some funny moments in it and Allison Brie is hilarious as the HR we would all love to have.
... View MoreI really cannot express how disappointing it is to have a film with such talented young actors and have it squandered on this piece of film-garbage. There is a whole slew of supporting cast that deserve so much better than to appear in such an uninspired sequence of events. Every character is a stereotypical punch-line waiting to happen. Even an appearance from the legendary John C. Mcginley's Dr. Cox Whistle is not enough to save this plodding, depressing mess.Seeing Walter White out of work is about as thrilling as remembering that he used to be Malcolm in the Middle's dad.I do, however, want to commend the filmmakers for attempting (admittedly with poor results) to address the frustration and actual difficulties faced by today's generation, and realise that it isn't all about being spoiled... Until that Hollywood ending shows us it is just that.
... View MoreThis film delayed its release for a couple of years due to the distribution issues. That's not it, the film is no good, the writing was terrible, but a bunch of good actors in it. It is about the recent college graduates who struggles to get a job, even if they do, finds hard to fit in. A very good theme, but they failed to draw a decent storyline for it. I think they knew the film won't get a good response, so they used 'distribution issue' card to hold it back, but now it's out and the result was as expected.It should have been called a drama than the comedy, because right now it lacks from those two categories. It digs on the topics like workplace bullying, harassment, as well as the youngsters' addiction to drugs and video games. In one of the scenes it emotionally appeals when the father tries to pay the bill in a restaurant. They had the right content, but lost in the translation to the screen. There's no proper flow in the story, they had tried too much, at a time it all remained very plain.This is the second film to release in this year for Anna Kendrick and both of them did no good for her, especially this film fell short from a long distance. Same goes for Miles Teller and Bryan Cranston. I hope they all forget it and come strong in their next projects. A few people might like it, but not me. I like quality contents where this film is not one. Thankfully it was short, but only thing is it was not sweet.3/10

Will Davis (Teller) has finally graduated college and is ready to attack the world, with the help of his parents. When is dad loses his job and Will has to support himself he realizes things aren't as easy as he was hoping. Now him, his friends and his girlfriend Jillian (Kendrick) must face a world that none of them are prepared for. I will start off by saying this is nothing all that original or amazing and won't win any awards. That said, the movie is hilarious and one that is easy and fun to watch. Something I could watch over and over. Miles Teller has great timing and made me laugh through out. The movie deals with real and serious topics in a way that you don't realize they are being brought up until you are like...oh yeah, that makes sense. There really isn't a whole lot to say about this one other than if you are looking for a light-hearted comedy that actually has a message this is one to definitely pick up and watch. As funny as Teller is, Alison Brie really steals the movie and I wish she was in it more. Overall, a hilarious and fun movie that you can watch over and over. I give this a B+.
